Taken in 21st January 2018 at Bhambore in Sindh
The beak screams Indian or Lesser Spotted.....but the question is which one?
Can this bird be identified to species level?
Indian Spotted Eagle has only ever been recorded in Pakistan a few times - maybe 3? Lesser Spotted has never been recorded - unless the few previous records have been assigned to Indian Spotted after the split?
The last one may or may not be this bird. Observer is not so sure.
Thanks in advance.
