Brown Falcon (Falco berigora)

A very reddish form of this variable species.Some are very light on chest and belly ,while others are dull dark-brown all over.This is possibly the first time that we have seen a bird that is predominantly reddishto this degree.Perhaps fond of taking a dust bath on the red soil in this area?
