Just back from Vera, Almeria, Spain. I was watching 9 Booted Eagles over the marsh when this raptor came in low from behind. I was blinded as it flew directly into the low morning sun but managed a few badly underexposed shots before losing it completely.
I assumed it was another booted eagle but now having been able to play with the image I am sure it was a Bonelli's. I have seen them there a few times over the years but from a greater distance with longer views where identification was made easier.
Confirmation or an alternative ID appreciated
