I suspect that that is not Eastern Marsh Harrier. The bird seem to be too small for that. Have the photographer consider other Harrier species?

Hi Mountain Man - The pics are nice Pied Harrier female ( sub-adult?). Mr Cheung of course is right to query - would anyone doubt a 5-star God?? I have no direct experience with this bird, but checked my supposition with Jesper Hornskov who confirms it's a Pied female.
Best regards - JJ ::)
