These images were taken at North-east Thailand, Pang Sida National Park 7th August 2011.
This raptor is relatively small-sized and I think it cannot be a Crested Goshawk although it looks like one. I am inclined towards Besra.
Hope someone can help in positively idnetifying it. Thanks in advance.

Looks more like a Crested Goshawk to me.

The head shape is more Goshawk like and the bill also a bit heavier than you would expect in a Besra,

OK I don't score a tick for this one. Goshawk it is then. Thank you.
