Crested Goshawks, presumably a pair. The feathering of the thighs extends onto the tarsi which is diagnostic, often not mentioned in the literature, and tarsi are strong.

Not a pair, but actually one bird. Looks like it's two images spliced together

I also thought it was a pair until I noticed the tree was identical!

Ha ha. Sorry not to mention it was a composite. And thanks for the correction. Looking at photos Besra does look very leggy (and relatively bare).
