Black Harrier Juvenile

This Juvenile Black Harrier could be confused with the African Marsh Harrier at a casual glance, except for the white flashes on the wings and the dark chest. Having taken the shot I also had the evidence of knowing it was hunting over scrub far from water which confirmed my identification.
