Raptor ID for Northern Pakistan (1 Viewer)

[gilgit2]

I spotted this high flying raptor at Borith Lake (36°25'48" N 74°51'40" E at 2,700 m.a.s.l.), in the northern region of Pakistan on 11th of October. The weather was quite windy and cloudy. At first glance this seems like Short-toed Snake Eagle (Circaetus gallicus), which is bit unusual for the area. The images are not very clear, but may help in identification.

Thanks in advance for help.

not difficult to agree on this one - Short-toed for sure.
