    Hi Ferdy, I've been looking at your Sooty falcon photos and I don't think that's what they are, as it's usually a very striking gray bird.
    I think this one is a Madagascar Buzzard, as it looks quite chunky, with the classic Buteo pattern of brown splotches on the underparts.     Posted 3 years ago

      Thanks so much for the corrections, and apologies. Seems the older my photos, the more bad IDs, so really appreciate the cleanup. Posted 3 years ago
