Possibly Wahlberg's Eagle- slim looking Aquila, with hint of wispy crest.

Hi Katy,

On the gallery I went with juv Bateleur.....can I change that to juv Long-crested Eagle? Head is far too small for Bateleur.

Hi there,

This certainly looks like a Wahlberg's Eagle to me. Small Aquila with a definite hint of a crest. They are also extremely variable in colour, but the overall shape seems to fit.

Kind Regards
Trevor
