Hello,
not that it matters much now (a few years later...), but I am not surprised that few people got quiz photo n° 6 right (http://www.birdforum.net/attachment.php?attachmentid=75473&d=1173596668).
Surely, this is not a Booted Eagle, but a juvenile Bonelli's ?
Booted never shows such a pale hand; there is never such a black-and-white contrast between the fingers and the outer primary bases. The very pale, rufous plumage tinges are another pointer to juv. Bonelli's.
Also, not how the breast is rufous but the belly whitish, which is often the case in juv. Bonelli's but rarely if ever in Booted, and note also that the blackish band across the underwing is thinner than in most Booted (if not all).
Just thought it might be a consolation to some -- posthumous :king:
