Accipiter nisus
From a distance, It had looked like a pair of babblers engaged in a fight or mating. When I zoomed in, it was surprising what I saw. This bird was now standing on the other bird . The bird at its feet was dead. It ruffled its feathers and tore them apart and then before I knew it, it flew away with its "prey" (?) in its mouth.
Thanks Nathan! Its indeed a hawk. Maybe a migratory winter visitor to these parts.
