Likely a very young Variable hawk, seemingly a rather rare plumage to be photographed, so I present it according to the discussion at http://www.birdforum.net/showthread.php?t=307120.

What a great find for you Jan.

Thanks very much for uploading it to the Gallery, as there's very few images of this species. It's possible Niels will want to add it to the Opus article, so I'll leave that to him (or discuss it with him).
