Can any eagle-eyed person please help me with this high-in-the-sky raptor.
i could only manage one photo. Is it a pale morph Wahlbergs eagle?

I'm not sure if I've attached this or not. if not, can anyone tell me how its done?

Long tail better for Wahlberg's, Booted more whitisch with buffy spots on upper breast, intermediate Booted with darker greater coverts
Wahlberg for me

Long narrow tail typical of Wahlberg's. No doubt IMO.

Thanks for the options guys. I'll settle for 'probable Wahlberg's".

Wahlberg's is variable, some are even paler.
