Looks like a (falconry) Buzzard sp. Would like to see more detail if possible.

Cheers,

Adam

Thanks, just looked this up from your info...is it a Ferruginous Hawk or Buzzard do you think?

From what I can see I would say it's a Buzzard. It is not a Ferruginous Hawk.

Interesting looking bird, definitely got a Buzzard look about it, maybe a Ferruginous Buzzard or Red-tailed Buzzard??

I think it might be a hawk, but have no idea what type

tawny eagle (Aquila rapax) for me

Hmm! You might be onto something there with Tawny Eagle, Faz. The bird looks a little dark but that may be due to light levels. The underwing patternation looks good.
