I think it's an adult pale-morphed Changeable Hawk-eagle (CHHE).

Note the obviously short wing projection, just about half of the tail length. This can rule out Hieraaetus eagles which normally have longer wing projection, if not in remix molt. Also, the dark mesial stripe and drop-like streakings on underparts point towrds CHHE.

Truely a great set of photos, sharp 'n clear! :)

thx Chaiyan!

the only thing missing is that this fella lacks the crest on its head.
Its habits does resemble a CHHE. It just stays at low perches.

Owen: yes! i do know chinese and cantonese ;D
