Thank you all for that - you have convinced me I got it wrong. It appeared
significantly smaller that any Wedge-tail I had seen before - and I had not
seen such dramatic head feather colours on a wedgie before.

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
