Yes, I have, but I can only upload the photos tonight.

Some photos of the right hand bird are added for reference.  I have more, but due to the daily upload quota, I only uploaded three of them.  Is it possible that it is a Western Marsh Harrier?

Thank you John.

Thank you Jonathan.  Do you mean that this bird is kind of a mixed species with both Eastern and Western Marsh Harrier origins?  Thanks.

Thank you.  Let me find the pictures with its rump tonight.

Thank you Jonathan and Paul.  It is indeed very difficult to identify raptors, given their individual variations and that it takes several years for them to become adults.
