Of the size of a buzzard, its plumage is uniformly brown-clearly or brown-dark with almost white lower parts and points of the black wings. Clear spots on shoulders. It has a rather long and square straight tail, without oblique scores. |
|
It is not easy to identify because his size does not allow to differentiate it of the buzzard, the honey buzzard or kite. The tail little to allow to identify it.
