I think this may be a misidentification. It looks very much like Buteo augur (Augur Buzzard). Note the short tail and dark eye.

I agree about it being Buteo augur (only after looking at images of it on Google!).

Excellent pictures of yours on that pbase site, well worth a look anyone!

I think you are both correct.Just looked it up in Sinclair and Ryan and it is a juvenile Augur Buzzard.Many apologies-not doing too well on my I.D.s at the moment!
Thanks for looking at the pbase site,Steve.
Best wishes,Pete

It is, in fact, Buteo augur. Someone had already linked it as H. spilogaster and I unlinked and put it under B. augur.
