Black-chested Buzzard-Eagle

• Its silhouette in flight is unmistakable: the tail is so short and the wings so broad that at a distance it looks like a triangle, more like a vulture than an eagle.
• Adults and juveniles are so different that for a long time they were described as separate species: the young bird is streaked brown and takes four years to acquire the adult's slate grey.
