thanks rockfowl,in the first face it looks underwing-coverts & belly tinged rufous, moustachial stripe narrower, darker wing-tips except can't see the colour of nape. so I think this is Barbary Falcon.


IS this Peregrine ssp ?

Agree with rockfowl, it is Peregrine. The eastern race of Barbary Falcon is very pale, I think.
