[Eagles] STEPPE EAGLE Juvenile 草原鵰幼鳥

These are extremely wonderful photographs.  However, I think this is a juvenile STEPPE EAGLE (which would be a first for HK)!
This ID is well covered in the field guides but the combination of largely unmarked body plumage, broad white tips to the greater coverts, primaries and tail, and especially the broad white tips to the greater underwing coverts are all typical of a first-winter Steppe Eagle.

Congratulations, wish i'd seen it...
