Struggling to help, as I'm not a birder. Online data for Venezuela is sketchy, so I figured to use my Colombia birds book as a "close enough" strategy. Unfortunately, the illustrations are not great, and I'm unable to find a hard match. Sorry!

eBird does have a lot of data from Venezuela:

...yet can be overwhelming to browse. When really stuck, you can try to send a personal message to Thibaud:

  Thanks Ferdy - It might just be a Roadside Hawk as there is a lot of variation - I'll have another think then maybe try Thibaud - I have the Venezuela bird bible but it's still hidden away in a box (as we've moved house a few times of late but now need to get shelving up :¬) Posted 5 years ago
