I photographed this bird in Dushanbe, Tajikistan this morning. At first I thought it was a dark Common Buzzard, but now I'm thinking it's better for a Honey-buzzard, especially looking at the shape of its head and face in the two photos where it's perched with the grassy hillside in the background.
If it is a Honey-buzzard, is it European or Oriental? eBird doesn't flag either as rare here.
