Observation details
A lone individual was perched on a prosopis juliflora shrub. The head shape and upperbody was visible thru the scope and had the field characteristics of a Buteo buzzard. Attempts to get closer was in vain as the bird flushed and we managed some flight shots. Identified it as Buteo Buteo vulpinus based on upper and under wing pattern , head shape and whitish undertail coverts . Tail was not visible both when it was perched or in flight. Eliminating Long legged buzzard based on darkrd head
