Yes, merlin.

For juv birds you probably need to measure the wings/size to tell what sex it is...?

 

[tconzemi]

primaries tipped white and no sign of moult, so agree with juvenile
not able to sex juveniles

Thank you both !

Species = dark tail-bars wider than pale ones. No other European falcon shows that.
