Yok Don National Park today.
Is this a Crested Goshawk? Or a juvenile Shikra?

Photo not good enough, eh?
I had been watching an adult Shikra when an Oriental Honey Buzzard came into view. The bird in the photo then interacted with the OHB (which I photographed) and its wingspan seemed to be > half that of the OHB. I thought I was photographing the Shikra seen earlier, but when I looked at the wingtips on the photo, I thought it couldn't be an adult Shikra.

On shape I'd agree with Shikra.
