Looks like a Wedge-tailed Eagle to me. Can't see the white 'windows' on the 
wings which a Black-breasted Buzzard has and the tail looks too long (it 
extends well beyond the wingtips in the shot where it's perched, whereas a 
Black-breasted Buzzard's wingtips tend to extend further than the tail when 
perched).

My 2 cents
Cheers,
John Graff
