Looks like a slightly rough Red Kite to me. (white stripes on the wings give it away for me. the tail could be more forked though) |

Black Kite can look like Red Kite but I don't think this bird is one, despite the not very forked tail, as Black Kite normally shows six primaries and this bird is showing five and has the off-white wing panels. A very tatty individual!
