But this dark Changeable Hawk-eagle was far far away. ©Tan KH


This male Oriental Honey-buzzard of the orientalis subspecies wasn't close, but enough to see the prominent tail bands. ©Tan KH


This Japanese Sparrowhawk was close enough to shown its 5 fingers with long outer P5. ©Tan KH


An Aberrant Oakblue (Arhopala abseus abseus) thrown in for good measure.
