A Sky full of raptors. Can anyone help with id? (1 Viewer)

Can anyone help me with these raptors, seen over Bishoftu (Debre Zeit) in the Ethiopian Rift Valley in December 2014? There are many kites (presumably all the local yellow billed variety of Milvus migrans), some hooded vultures, a larger tawny eagle to the right side, several other eagles with a broad white stripe in the centre of the wing which I think are Steppe eagles, but I am stumped with the two central eagles with wings pointed roughly top to bottom). This was my first time with these African eagles and I can't find anything like these two in my Redman, Stevenson et al. so I am guessing.

Sorry, can't help with the idents (never been to that part of Africa), but ...

European Black Kites also winter widely in Africa, so there's no guarantee yours are Yellow-billed Kites.

I wondered if they were Black Kites and White Backed Vultures.

They look like Cape Griffon Vultures to me. Circling over a lion killed buffalo in December 2014, at approximately 17.36 in the afternoon. I should be on Who wants to be a millionaire :smoke:
