Would it be a Hen Harrier?

Good question, pan. :) Unfortunately I have to leave this to other experts out there. ;D I guess the characteristics pointing to a Hen Harrier is the tail stripes? ??? Below are two more images of the same bird at a different angle which may help for the ID:

Here is an image taken last year of another EMH (or believed to be EMH ???). Note that there are also very faint tail stripes.
