Booted or Bonelli's? Marettimo, Sicily (1 Viewer)

[Kinthissa]

Having been helped recently to identify Booted eagles, I was sailing along happily tagging pix when I came across one bird (nos.2 - 5) which confuses me. Please could you help?

All from 13 December.

no.1 afternoon, Booted eagle
nos.2 - 5 morning, taken in one series, I believe all photos of same individual. Lighter inner primaries panel made me think it was A. pennata, but there's this dark bar along the midwing. Is it a dark Booted of the tawny variety, or could it be a juvenile Bonelli's?

more Booted-ish to me for the reasons you give but don't take my word as final.

Tawny juvenile Booted or better juvenile tawny Booted o

Thought it was going to be a question about warblers!! :-O

Thank you everyone.

It would be wonderful to be able to post to bird forum to ask if there are any Bonelli warblers in among the Booteds,

just need to work out what exotic part of the world I should be in to make that possible.

Happy New Year.
