Looks like a European Honey Buzzard to me.

Especially due the yellow wax skin at the base of the culmen.

 

All the best,

Hi Guys:

 

I'd be interested to get your views on this bird seen in the Mara last week foraging on at the edge of a fire...feeding on grasshoppers.

 

I have had many responses and have narrowed it down, but would like to get your thoughts.

 

cheers
