Please correct if the id is wrong. It is the very first time ever I get this close.

Thanks for viewing.

Hi Griffin

Nice pix!

This is not a juvenile; it is an adult. You can tell because the dark wings and back feathers would have pale edges on a juvenile.

Cheers
Mike

Thank you, Mike for pointing out. I was mistaken by the colour behind the neck. :)
