South African eagle (1 Viewer)

[OxonJNick]

Lockdown has given time to digitalise my slide collection. I came across this one taken in 1992 in the Karoo region of South Africa. I had it labelled as 'unidentified eagle' but my thoughts are Verreaux's. Quality isn't great but any thoughts are welcome.

Cheers

Aboslutely Verreaux's by wing shape alone, belly lighter makes it a younger one

Yes, Verreaux’s nice shot!

agree on the very distinctive structure and also very distinctive pale bill and white wing patches.
