Comments by the Expert Panel on this record:

Comment number:   1
By:   Cameron Meyer
Comment:   Juvenile Martial Eagle. I think the crown is just the often seen crest exaggerated by wind. There is brown spotting visible on the right lower belly/upper flank as well as the vent. Plumage changes around the neck and upper chest consistent with Martial Eagle. I dont see a yellow gape.
