[Falcons] Northern Sparrowhawk 雀鷹

Largely agree with Tung. However, I think it is a juvenile, as there appear to be buff fringes to the mantle and lesser covert feathers, and fairly distinct pale fringes to the greater and median coverts.

As an aside, note the distinctive upper tail pattern. The pale bars are obviously broader than the dark bars, which rules out Besra.
