OK, no dramas. I just wouldn't put my money on it that's all.

Sorry to disagree Tony, this bird is clearly a pale morph Little Eagle.

Once you zoom into the image twice (by clicking on the image once and
then select 'ALL SIZE') the head and upper chest are cinnamon buff, the
underbody a buffy white, and the wing coverts are a pale whitish brown.
The shape is also very eagle like and so is the size. Arwen's bird looks
almost identical to the bird in the following image:

It is also very like the bird on the Birds in Backyard website. This
site appears to crashed for the moment - however you can access the link

I did this and I still reckon it's far too small and indistinct to say
too much about it. Pure guesswork fellas.

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.)

Cheers
Dave
