Pithecophaga jefferyi
Considered as the world's largest eagle (in terms of length), and one of the most threatened raptors (www.arkive.org/). Also called as the monkey-eating eagle. It has brown and white-coloured plumage, and a shaggy crest (Wikipedia).

They have Dakila and Kaibigan. There was no nickname for this one.
Not to mention the 3" talons.... yikes!
Alan... do you remember the name of this particular Eagle? Just wondering if I actually know this one. :) I remember Diola (sadly deceased while I was there...), Junior, Jingjing, Ransom, Dawan, PagAsa, Pagkakaisa, KaBrian.
Dang, nice shot, got to admire it's feathers behind its head
