Observation details
Accipiter with vinous breast, whitish belly, pale gray throat. Upperparts uniformly soft dark gray. Did not appear to have any visible dark bands on the upper side of the tail. Legs yellow, eye with a yellow center surrounded by orange, cere greenish-yellow. Seemed like a reasonably large bird, similar in size to a Sulawesi Goshawk seen the previous day. Yellow-orange (not dark) eyes, yellow (not orange) cere and lack of spots on tail rule out Chinese Goshawk and Spot-tailed Goshawk. Orange tone to eyes is apparently more indicative of Small Sparrowhawk than Vinous-breasted, but I am not sure how diagnostic that trait is..
