Hi See Toh,
I remember prescient observers identifying vulpinus in SE. Asia thirty odd years ago. It took me thirty years to pluck up enough courage to identify a common buzzard, as such, in your region and literally the week I did this , they changed the name to japonicus. Suspect most will name your bird japonicus as well but rest assured birds looking like yours do occur in the middle east with vulpinus.
