    Stunning! Changeable indeed! More morphs than a bad BBC children's (H)art show (joke for a very limited audience). Posted 10 years ago

The Changable hawk eagle

The changeable hawk-eagle or crested hawk-eagle is a bird of prey species of the family Accipitridae. It was formerly placed in the genus "Spizaetus", but studies pointed to the group being paraphyletic resulting in the Old World members being placed in "Nisaetus" and separated from the New World species.
