6. Gabar Goshawk

And if the goshawk has barred undertail coverts, as it appears to, it's a Pale Chanting. Gabars' are plain white.

That is why I battle to ID photos of birds. On my PC the bird in question definitely looks like the cere and legs are quite red. In most cases I find Gabars to be more red than PCG's ....that is why I said Gabar. It is much easier in the field to ID these birds as Gabar is way smaller than Pale Chanting Goshawk..so I rarely make a mistake with my own sightings...but photos are a different story. I should always add a question mark to my comments...because it really is a guess each time.

1 and 6 = Juvenile Pale Chanting Goshawk

The last one is a juvenile PCG.

The last one is definitely a PCG. I'm not sure about no. 1 because of the "fluff" but it's most like a PCG too
