Philippine eagle

Natuurmuseum Brabant, Tilburg 2013. This is a picture with a story. The Museum got this bird from a man who stuffed many animals from the Tilburgs dierenpark = Tilburg Zoo ( now closed ) and it is possible that this Philippine eagle came from there, the more because the Tilburg Zoo was owned by an animal-dealer family ( the Van Dijk's ) and they imported with some regularity animals from the Philippines ! Tilburg Zoo is however nowhere mentioned as being a former keeper of this species ( see http://www.izn.org.uk/Archive/305/IZN-305.html#eagle ) so maybe this is an unrecorded captive specimen ! It is however also possible that the bird was brought as a dead specimen to the Zoo and then was stuffed. I tried to contact the van Dijk's but sofar I got no reply on my questions...
