I'd believe that it is a spring 2cy Steppe Eagle. Despite the short looking gape, the plumage is mid-brown (not especially tawny or sand coloured), the throat is pale and the bill doesn't look especially thick. Tawny Eagle has not been recorded in Kuwait and is very rare anywhere in the WP.
How do you age it please? (Degree and evenness of wear on the flight feathers?)
Is it right to assume that a bird this age would usually start to have an iris turning pale?

But TE seem to have a dark form wich can be very similar (to say the least ;-) to Steppe E.

The bill-shape ("thick" as CAY write above) seem to be unreliable (i can see no difference in bill shape in asian form of TE and SE)

When you trawl through the OBC images, a lot of 2cy Tawny seem to have a paler iris (and somewhat less brown) than the corresponding age of Steppe, but there are some cases where the difference is slight, and the orientation of the light probably has an influence on our perception of the colour.
As a side note those, I found 2 more birds misidentified as Steppe (they look like Greater Spotted Eagles):

You'll also have to remember that the breeding period of Tawny Eagle is probably much longer than that of more northern raptors (i.e. there's a lot of variation in the real age of the "same" generation of Tawny Eagles).
I doubt that this one is a Steppe Eagle, but is it Tawny or Eastern Imperial?
