Hi Jz,

Your raptor photo should be adult pale morph Changable Hawk Eagle (Spizaetus cirrhatus), the resident raptor in Singapore. Thanks for your sharing.

Cheers,

thx lwo,

didn't know the changeable hawk eagle is a resident in SIN.

spotted a pale and dark morph b4 but both have nice feathers.
this one was found far away from the 2 locations and its feathers looks tattered. Poor thing.
