Two different Accipiter's posted by different photographers, though both from the island of Sulawesi, Indonesia:
1) http://www.birdforum.net/pp_gallery/showphoto.php/photo/67169/
2) http://www.birdforum.net/pp_gallery/showphoto.php/photo/70561/
Anybody with an opinion about the ID of these two? I think I have a fairly good idea about the ID's, but would prefer additional input, not at least because I have absolutely no experiance with the Sulawesi endemics. Possibilities for this island are:
Sulawesi Goshawk (A. griseiceps).
Chinese Goshawk (A. soloensis).
Spot-tailed Goshawk (A. trinotatus).
Japanese Goshawk (A. gularis).
Small (aka Sulawesi Dwarf) Sparrowhawk (A. nanus).
Vinous-breasted Sparrowhawk (A. rhodogaster).
