    I believe this is a Eurasian Sparrow Hawk - Accipiter nisus, rather than a Kite. http://www.oiseaux.net/photos/jules.fouarge/eurasian.sparrowhawk.24.html Posted 8 years ago

      Or maybe a female shikra (Accipiter badius).

The Shikra

The Shikra is a small bird of prey in the family Accipitridae found widely distributed in Asia and Africa where it is also called the Little Banded Goshawk. The African forms may represent a separate species but have usually been considered as subspecies of the Shikra. The Shikra is very similar in appearance to other sparrowhawk species including the Chinese Goshawk and Eurasian Sparrowhawk.
