Which kestrel please? Baghdad, Jan 14 (1 Viewer)

Hi, I think this is a common kestrel and not lesser due to its face, but the claws look both grey/light colour and black and not sure whether the dark is because of shadow or the light because of the light. Any comments and suggestions much appreciated as always.
thank you in advance

Common Kestrel-note dark claws amongst other features.

Thanks Aeshna, the one claw seemed light coloured, which made me a bit uncertain so your confirmation is much appreciated.
thanks again

Amusing. Claw colour changes between photos
Such are the problems of a) photos and b) judging bare-part colours.
