Tawny eagle
Aquila rapax
Overall colour varies from dark to very pale brown or creamy-buff; some are vaguely streaky and present a rather scruffy appearance, and a few show random rufous blotches; flight feathers and (plain-looking) tail always darker. At close range, gape is short, only extending back to below middle of eye. Eyes yellowish-brown on adult, dark on immature. Perched immature shows two very narrow bars (pale fringes) across closed wing. In soaring flight wings held flat, and tail broad and rounded. Adult shows browner or paler wing-coverts, contrasting with flight feathers on both wing surfaces (never as plain and dark as adult Steppe Eagle). Immature, from above, shows narrow bands across coverts and along trailing edge of wing, small whitish flash on inner primaries, and pale Buffy rump-crescent. From below, shows narrow white trailing edge; pale line between coverts and flight feathers is obscure. Two races occur in Africa: larger and browner belisarius is found throughout most of NE Africa, and more Rufus nominate occurs in south. Singles, pairs and small groups are most frequently encountered large brown eagle. Occurs throughout region; often feeds on road kills.
