Hi Romy, Ok the pics are of the same individual! You are right I think! I was confused by the dark terminal band which is not shown in the pictures of the kennedy guide but is in the description of Philippine Hawk-Eagle! The first pic doesn't show any black mask, so that does exclude Rufous-bellied. Greeting Wouter

Hi Wouter, This pic and the preceding one are of the same individual, and we think it's an immature Philippine Hawk-Eagle. Regards, Romy

Hi Romy, This looks like an immature Rufous-bellied Eagle to me. Wow Amazing pictures Again!! The determination is based on the black mask and dark flack patch. Greetings Wouter
