The numbers/variety of raptors in Africa confounds. I have dozens of bad photos of raptors that I'm digging through (don't worry, I won't post all of them...). This one seems to be one that may be identifiable despite the significant cropping/blurriness.
Based on what I've seen in books and online, the overall brown color and apparent grayish legs seems to suggest Brown Snake Eagle but the short tail and light patch on the throat in one photo makes me wonder whether I'm missing something. Could it be a juvenile Bateleur? Something else?
Would appreciate any input/feedback.
Thanks,
