Mudgee info / help with raptor ID

["Tim Dolby" <>]

Sorry to disagree Tony, this bird is clearly a pale morph Little Eagle.

Once you zoom into the image twice (by clicking on the image once and then 
select 'ALL SIZE') the head and upper chest are cinnamon buff, the underbody a 
buffy white, and the wing coverts are a pale whitish brown. The shape is also 
very eagle like and so is the size. Arwen's bird looks almost identical to the 
bird in the following image:

It is also very like the bird on the Birds in Backyard website. This site 
appears to crashed for the moment - however you can access the link at:

I did this and I still reckon it's far too small and indistinct to say
too much about it. Pure guesswork fellas.

When you click on the image there is a little box top left with a
magnifying glass saying "all sizes". Click on that to bring up the
largest size available. This gives alot more detail than the first
thumbnail.
The only things not properly visible from that that i have mentioned
are the bill colour and tail barring. These are really only properly
visible if you then "Download large size" and open the image in
another program and zoom in a bit more. Although the fact that the
undertail is dark rather than white is enough from the small image. (I
only briefly copied the image to my desktop for the purposes of ID
and then deleted the file.)

Cheers
Dave
