Here's another that's probably just a plain 'ol everyday PCG, but I keep wanting one of them to be less common type. (Gabar, Dark, etc)

You must find one which has not dark eyes ;-) Yellow = African goshawk, but you don't find that one in KTP. Red eye = Gabar Goshawk.

Another one...Could this possibly be a Southern banded snake-eagle? It does not look like a juv. hawk of any kind to me -O-

The juv. dark chanting goshawk was my first thought, but it is usually striped all over the front, but you are probably right, mine was just wishful thinking =O: The first and second one is the same bird ;-)
