Please help me with that buzzard, I noticed yellowish tail and lack of typical V on chest. Common buzzard or could be some hybrid?

Looks to have vulpinus 'Steppe' Buzzard, influence with that tail which is reddish I think, not yellowish.

I've seen a couple in Russia like this, the range of Steppe Buzzard is poorly known as is the hybrid status in areas where presumably, more than one race occurs.

I felt that he had something from vulpinus. I think, that's probably the first such a hybrid i've seen in Podhale. Although I saw a lot of buzzards (thousends I think).
Thank's so much !
