Hi Harry,
Despite your ease with replying, you do not pass any opinion?
Can we be certain it is in fact a female, and not an immature male of some kind?
I agree that the black secondary bar seems enhanced as a result of editing or general video effect, but the bird also seems to show grey, plain areas on the plumage.
Bear in mind I'm viewing on my laptop screen, which has very poor colour rendition.
In most of the photo's the wing shape looks more like Monty's than Hen to me, and the underwings look darker at their bases too.
No-one has dared to call this as a Pallid yet, I note, and it would be a brave or experienced person to do so - but in my opinion, from the pics, it is a Monty's.
