[Falcons] Saker Falcon?

Saker Falcon?









Po Toi
11th April, 2010

A large size Falcon was spotted today :
- size is about 30-40% larger than a Peregrine Falcon ( a male Peregrine was attacking this larger falcon & Thomas should have some photos of both birds dueling.)
- pale head with whitish supercilium,
- narrow moustachial stripe,
- pale throat & vent  
- broad wing width
- narrow under tail stripes

The bird was gliding with fully stretch out wings for a long period of time.
Would it be a juvenile Saker Falcon ?  Would need some help from the experts and comments are most welcomed, thanks in advance.
