Please could anyone help with an ID of this handsome raptor. Seen on the beach at Tortugero, on the Caribbean side of Costa Rica, at the end of last month. Mid-afternoon. It was strolling along the sand, vaguely picking at objects, or flying low just ahead of us, from one thicket to the next at the edge of the beach. Strangely unbothered by our presence. Sorry I can't be more precise, but I'd estimate it was about the size of a buzzard.
We've been through all the local candidates we could think of, but none seems quite to fit. Thanks.
