Hi,
An adult Steppe/Tawny Eagle type from Kruger park, South Africa in end November. Gape, bill shape, eye color, tail barring just of out reach to get a perfect feeling about it. P and S seems lighter than what I would expect being on an adult Steppe, and the light brownish tinged body and underwing coverts tend to make me lean towards Tawny. It doesn't look that broad winged, and I assume that is a good factor for Tawny as well. But since I have never been coming across an adult tawny before, I would appreciate some confirmation.
