Sierra morena, Golden eagle, photo from documentary (1 Viewer)

[Bewick]

This photo is taken from a documentary on the animals that live in Sierra morena, this bird was called a juvenile golden eagle when shown in the documentary- thought it looked closer to the Spanish imperial eagle (sorry for rushed post, have a lot to do).
Could be completely wrong, I’ve only seen adult golden eagles in the wild and have only seen juvenile golden eagles and Spanish imperial eagles from photographs. When seeing the bird in the documentary markings and the lightish plumage on underside seemed juvenile imperial, thanks for any help!

Golden eagle never has plumage like that, above or below.

That’s what I thought… strange documentaries seem to do it often.

I’ve added one more image.

Yes, two Spanish Imperial Eagles: a younger one in the first frame, probably still in 1st plumage, and an older one (maybe even 3rd plumage) in the second frame
