It has a look of a larger bird, such a hawk-eagle (too heavy body for honey-buzzards IMO), but the photo is too blurred. In which country is "Chang Mai" ?

It seems to me that neck is too short, wings too short and wide, and breast much too deep.

Oriental Honey Buzzard is a large bird, wing span can be even longer than that of Changeable Hawk Eagle. The weight is a different case : the Hawk Eagle is much heavier. Size is difficult to judge in the sky, not to say impossible. I think, however, that the shape clearly excludes the Honey Buzzard option.

Thanks for that.
The tail has three bars in a typical configuration for Oriental Honey Buzzard. As the comparison image shows, Changeable Hawk Eagle has five bars. I think therefore it is OHB.
