Is this a juvenile black-chested snake-eagle? KTP

Looks more like a juvenile Jackal Buzzard.

Juvenile Jackal Buzzards have paler eyes. B-ch s-eagles have much yellower eyes. They also have larger, squarer heads. $\O$

Not sure what this is, thought it was a Juvenile Gabar Goshawk but not sure. Saw it on new road near Ngotso in Kruger.

On other pics it looks like a pale/light yellow eye.

We saw this one on the S28 in February 2018 in Kruger. Any idea?

Thanks already in advance for your help. :thumbs_up:

I thought this was a Steppe Buzzard, but now some people have said Tawny Eagle and others say Wahlbergs. $0*\$ From what I remember this was much smaller than either of those.

I am 96% sure that it's a steppe buzzard $\O$ Which of course does not mean that it is

Agreed! They come in various colour schemes and seem to like sitting in the foliage?

Steppe Buzzard?

Posted: **Sun Apr 28, 2019 12:17 pm**

Wahlberg's or lesser spotted eagle? I think the former as the eye looks dark

On the other hand, the tail looks more like the lesser spotted one's and also the design of the feathers $0*\$

It has a buzzard-like posture
