Is certainly a Hobby. The fairly even pattern from leading to
trailing edge, through all the underwing and tail. The more pointed wings than
a Brown Falcon, the face pattern, the rather orangish colour, the complete absence
of the dark feathers on the upper legs………

Subject: [Birding-Aus] Christmas Raptor Wrap
My mystery bird for Christmas is this raptor I photographed
above the Stuart Highway on my way to Newhaven back in 2011. I have made a wild
bet (usually wrong) but I would appreciate your views and reasons so I can
label it correctly... just in case it is something else...
