Botswana - Eagle? (1 Viewer)

[PW23]

Hello,

Spotted this slightly out-of-focus bird in Northern Botswana. First impression with naked eye was buzzard but having looked at the bill and leg feathering, it looks more like an eagle. I queried dark-morph Booted Eagle but "landing lights" aren't obvious to me. I thought Tawny was unlikely due to round nostril. Struggling to find a good fit.. Wahlberg's? Suggestions welcome.

Thanks

round nostril plus narrow barring on flight feathers without subterminal bar + tightly feathered legs = Lesser Spotted Eagle

Brilliant thanks Tom, was hoping you'd have a look!
