Thanks Valery, much appreciated...

I was about to write that based on the thumbnail only, then opening the photo I've seen the very small bill, yellow eye and Honey Buzzard tail pattern so I changed my mind.
I think mainly the big yellow eye on the "blank" face excluded AHA, unless you have an explanation (as you use to have)... or all features I used are artefacts?
Fight-feathers are more indicating AHA indeed.

Well-known member.....apparently so ;)
Agree with Tib, imm Gymnogene for me
I did not have an independent opinion on this one, but counting primaries seems to be better in agreement with the Gymnogene: http://www.birdforum.net/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=211860

I can accept my yellow eye is a artefact then.
