Anyone else? Could also be a Juv. Pied Harrier. Edit: Ooops. Just noticed Teflon Don beat me to it. I'm leaning Juv. Pied but it's been a long while since I had regular field experience with harriers. Edited November 5, 2017 by AjarnNorth 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until someone comes along to positively ID it. I'd think it's possibly a Chinese Sparrowhawk but they are relatively rare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post AjarnNorth Posted November 26, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted November 26, 2017 I reckon it's a Shikra. Accipiters are notoriously hard even with a very clear photo, but for me the rule of thumb is that unless you can detail specific reasons for it being anything other than a Shikra, then it's best to put it down as a Shikra. As a Thailand's most knowledgeable ornithologist once put it to me, and I paraphrase, "Shikra is the default accipiter in Thailand." If you lighten the exposure some and repost it may bring out some distinguishing characteristics. Also, take a look at this: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/280727632_Flight_Identification_of_Six_Accipiter_Sparrowhawk_Species_in_Thailand 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jack2964 Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 Thanks AN for that interesting link although I still can't be certain. I'll go along with shikra for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
