I'm sorry but I can't help you with your I D but I do want to wish you a warm welcome from those of us on BirdForum!

I'm going to have your thread moved to the Bird I D section of the Forum where you should get some answers

Booted eagle never has tail- or underwing-patterns like this. So...

y but it's not a white-bellied sea-eagle either [couldn't see obvious other candidates in the ebird list for the NP]

Is it not a sub-adult Grey headed fish eagle in strong light? Similar bird here: https://ebird.org/checklist/S128232...330.617683792.1678473167-242301882.1650006479

Edit: could also be immature Lesser fish eagle, I've only seen adults of these species so can't comment further...

Not looked in detail but [one of] those was my first thought. A bit different to the adults, though.
