Pernis ptilorhyncus
Finally found this large Raptor!It is also known as Oriental Honey Buzzard...The crested honey buzzard breeds in woodland, and is inconspicuous except in the spring, when the mating display includes wing-clapping. The display of roller-coasting in flight and fluttering wings at the peak of the ascent are characteristic of the genus Pernis....it lacks supraciliary ridge which is present in all raptors...
