I was taking pictures of the swifts at my house (Barcelona, 01/07/2011) as this raptor flew past, I couldn't take good pictures. What's your oppinion? Harrier?

Thank you for your answers.

Going on the shape and general dark brown colouration with what looks like a cream crown, I'd guess a Marsh Harrier [immature or female].
