Milvus milvus
Big, wide-winged birds circling high in the air.
Seen above the Agra train station in India.
Thanks for the help.
I'm going with Red Kite for now, but will adjust as the conversation continues
Also, some forms of Black Kite do show white on the inner sections of the primaries.

Could be. What threw me off were the number of "fingers" (primaries) extending. Red Kite usually show five, but Black Kite show six. In pic 2 I counted 6 fingers, but in pic 1 I counted 5.
I thought black kite at first, too, but if you look closely you can see the wing tips are muck lighter. Black kites have wings of uniform color, red kites have white patches at the tip.
