Hi all,

My initial thoughts on these two birds are that they are both OHBs. The first bird (first 3 pics) was seen at Krung Ching, Nakhon Si Thammarat province and my thoughts were that it is a dark morph OHB. The other bird was seen in Phatthalung province, further south.

All help greatly appreciated,

Ben.

Thanks again, Grahame!

I guess among other things, the barring on the underside seen on the 2nd pic point towards Jerdon's, not to mention the different wing shape.

Cheers!!

Just received a PM from xuky-summer querying the ID of the 1st bird as Jerdon's Baza, alluding to the fact it has 7 fingers indicating Nisaetus spp!

He is quite right to point out my error and, taking a closer look, it looks better for adult Wallace's Hawk-eagle. http://www.birdsofthailand.org/photo/1151

Thank's xuky.
