Spanish imperial eagle  (Aquila adalberti)

Description

This large eagle has a pale cream head and neck, but dark brown feathers elsewhere. There is a distinctive white area on the shoulders and a pale grey area on the upper tail, and the species can be recognised by its particularly flat gliding flight. It gives a repeated barking ‘owk' when calling. Juveniles are red-brown fading to pale brown with dark flight feathers and white fringes (2).
