Gabar goshawk or not? (1 Viewer)

If I look in Sasol Birds of Southern Africa it looks like a juvenile Gabar goshawk, but its beak is wrong. This one is red and black, and in Sasol it isn't.

Does anyone know what it is? Link -> Gabar goshawk

Hi DuQues,

A warm welcome to BirdForum from all the Moderators and Admin.

I am afraid I can't answer your id question but I am sure someone will be along soon who can.

Hi

A Gabar Goshawk does have a red and black beak like the one in your picture, according to the information I have seen. However I am not so sure that the colouration and patterns on the bird you have photographed match that of a Gabar.
