Looks like Tawny from that second image.

Long-eared owl, I think. The fine grey vermiculations are typical of this species, and the tail feathers (first image) have thin barring unlike the broader bars found on a tawny.

Try checking against images on the feather base website, that should help, but my first impression is Tawny

Tail feathers with this yellow-brown ground color and thin barring are clearly Long-Eared Owl, Asio otus
In Tawny , barring shoud be more dense and the room between the bars is in most cases spotty with a more complex and dense pattern
On first glance one can get a Tawny owl impression from the decomposing dead birds body, but also there you can see the tail feathers and it looks good for Long-eared owl ...
