I would only go as far as a light morph Little Eagle. Most of that is based on the shape (and pale or reddish body). On that level it is simple. However it is unusual looking in that photo. The wing lining (as in middle of the wing) which is normally pale, is unusually dark, whereas the secondaries, which normally show as a dark triangle (or a rhombus if my geometry memory is holding up) is unusually pale.
