Legge's Hawk-Eagle

Legge's hawk-eagle breeds in the Indian subcontinent from southern India to Sri Lanka, in mountain woodland. It is a medium-sized eagle with brown upperparts and pale underparts, barred on the undersides of the flight feathers and tail and heavily streaked on the breast and belly. The broad wings have a curved trailing edge and are held in a shallow V in flight. Young birds are often whiter-headed. Males average about 70 cm long and females about 76 cm (Wikipedia, general species account).

It was formerly a subspecies of the mountain hawk-eagle but is smaller with unstreaked buff underwing coverts, and a 2008 study proposed full species status. It builds a stick nest in a tree, usually laying a single egg, and eats small mammals, birds and reptiles. The 2012 list gives no entry under Legge's name; it lists the Mountain Hawk-eagle (Spizaetus nipalensis) as Nationally Vulnerable, which probably covered this form (verify).
