I saw this snake eagle in july in tarangire np and have a discussion if this is a brown snake eagle or an immature black chested snake eagle.

Because of the narrow bars in the tail i am thinking more of an imm BC snake eagle. Body colour seems very dark though but this might be partly because of the timing. Picture was taken at noon.

Hope that somebody can help me.

It's a typical Brown SE with bold tail barring and (almost) no baring in remiges

Thanks Tom,

Flight feathers are indeed without barring.
Brown it is.
