Pacific Baza or Crested Hawk, Aviceda subcristata
long-tail; paddle-shaped, long-"fingered" wings; grey head, neck, and breast; underparts white with bold, dark banding; domed "popeye" yellow eyes; continued banding on the underside of the tail and flight feathers.
Differentiated from the similar Collared Sparrowhawk (Accipiter cirrhocephalus) which has finely barred underparts, yellow legs, and rounded short wings , and from the Brown Goshawk (Accipiter fasciatus) which also has fine bading on the underparts and yellow legs...

(Don't know why several of my comments get sidelined or lost in the void- is that the HTML attribute de-spammer that Seed use?)
