Hi all,
is this Falcon a pure Barbary Falcon or what do you think?
Thanks in advance.
Cheers
Peter.

the long bill and the swollen feet make it an escaped (or released) sick falconer's bird, most probably a hybrid (bluish feet and cere)

agree with released falconory bird, the leg stripes were taken off and the bird is sufering from bumble feet, regarding the id, it looks like brooki pergrine rather barbary.
