Hi all, two friends and I saw this bird in Monfrague National Park, Extremadura this summer (July 15th). We identified it as a dark morph booted eagle at first, but upon looking at the picture again noticed a few identication points pointing to a potential immature Bonelli's; there seems to be a quite large black carpal patch (though that might be the bad quality of the picture), a bit of a black tail-band, and the neck looks long for booted. It is definitely a very "orange" bird, even though this doesn't show well on the pictures.
I tried getting the picture to show as much detail as possible by making it a bit lighter, but it still isn't very clear... Any help identifying this bird would be appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
