Is this Crested Goshawk? I find it quite difficult to ID esp when it is in-flight. All photos are same bird.

Many thanks.

Your photos look exactly like one of a crested goshawk on eBird that was taken in Taiwan. The grey head and yellow eye, striped throat and barred breast and what looks like white on the rump.
But like you I am waiting for someone with more field expertise to confirm.

Thanks Steve. I checked against Crested Goshawk (perched) I took in Taiwan back in Feb 2020, now it looks much clearer for the match.

I would still appreciate if others able to double confirm this incase I got it wrong. Hard to ID for me when they are in-flight.
