Guess what birds eye

@Terry Thomas Thanks! There aren't that many white-faced or white-headed raptors with light-colored eyes. I'm going to guess that it's a captive Bald Eagle in a bird show or on display in a bird park. The eyes seem a little dark, but maybe within the natural range of variation for a Bald Eagle.
 
@Terry Thomas Thanks! I'll give up and let someone else have a try at it! All of the other white-faced raptor suspects that I can think of have bare patches of skin around their eyes so it couldn't African Fishing Eagle, Palm Nut Vulture, or Egyptian Vulture.
 
@Summer Tanager I am sorry to have messed you about, when you were correct the first time. I mixed my photos up and thought it was an Asian White-breasted Sea- Eagle, It is, as you said, a Brahminy Kite. I have several thousand photos of birds, from many different countries, many of them close-ups. I will have to be more careful in the future! Again, sorry about that mix -up.
 
@Terry Thomas Thank you! That's not a problem at all! I complete relate to getting photos mixed up - I've done that many times! I'm glad that it turned out to be a Brahminy Kite, but it was educational to run through the many different types of raptors that are out there! It's all good fun! Thanks again!
