Seen at Pasir Ris in Feb 2013. Is it a pale phase Short-toed Snake Eagle (no tail bands near tip) or something else?

Maybe Oriental Honey Buzzard?

That's the feeling I get from it too. Should be easy for someone familiar with that species, good photo :t:

I'd go for Oriental Honey Buzzard as well.

Agree

OK, thanks all, it didn't match any of the 9 drawings in my S E Asia guide on tail pattern, but it does match one in my Indian Guide!

I did not even look at the tail pattern; the jiz (small dove-like head, long neck and wings tacked on way back) are pretty diagnostic.
