Hi Peter,
It is actually a nestling, not a fledgling. As it
is obviously from your description still downy, and more to the point has not
left the nest yet (at which point a nestling becomes a fledgling), see recent
discussion on this. I can't comment on what species it is. Both our eagle
species have white down.
