A Raptor on Penang Island Malaysia, plus Scaly-breasted Munia (1 Viewer)

[TeamLeip]

Greetings,
I was walking along the road in the cemetery by Mt. Enskin and saw this raptor up high. The photos are not great and I am thinking Oriental Honey Buzzard, but I am not sure. For fun I attached the pictures I got of a scaly-breasted munia, a chestnut-headed bee-eater and a a white throated kingfisher

I'd start with Brahminy kite (after editing the photo so you can see a bit more).

Oh, that's very nice--feel free to post them in the Gallery as well for others to see (it's 3 pics per 24 h).

The raptor looks like a 2nd calendar year Brahminy Kite.

Agree with Brahminy kite, you are correct on all your other identifications.
