I have recently visited South Africa. Whilst in Kruger I saw a raptor which I am having difficulty identifying (attached file) . It was pouring with rain so the colour of the plumage is not obvious. Can anyone help please?
The other birds I saw are posted on my bird blog https://martinsbirdblog.com

Welcome to BirdForum. I'm wondering if your bird is a wintering Sooty Falcon.
