Honey Buzzard or Harrier (1 Viewer)

[WorldInFocus]

Hi anyone,

Spotted this beauty this morning about 09:08 near Taif, Saudi Arabia.

Seems to be coloured to Marsh Harrier in Helm Field Guide Birds of the Middle East. Although it doesn't have the head shape of a Harrier.

I was possibly thinking Honey Buzzard or Long Legged Buzzard although the later I have seen round these parts are normally lighter in colour.

Any help would be greatly appreciated,

Cheers,

Ian C
