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.)

How can you tell all that from such a tiny far away photo?

Sorry Trevor, it is a Little Eagle.
Note the distinctive pale scalloped upperwing pattern on wing coverts.
Also dark primaries. Juv Black-shouldered Kite would have darker
shoulder patch and paler primaries tipped white. Primaries are shorter
than tail, plus tail is barred in this bird. Bill is heavier and grey
rather than black/yellow. All round a much stockier looking bird. Also
juv BSK would have white on the face where this bird is uniformly dark.
Hope that helps.
