Medium-large bird of prey, Sri Lanka (1 Viewer)

[Tord]

I have some difficulties identifying this fairly large raptor. The clearly distinctive red eyes puzzle me. I don't have any front or in flight facing pictures.

Location: central northern Sri Lanka, close to Minneriya
Habitat: Open habitat, sparsely forested
