Hi Adams- Thanks for showing another image of this great species. This one is a treat to see with the kestrel.
Seems like every book I refer to about this species has a different story. I took a look at the Handbook of the Birds of the World (ed. J. del Hoyo, Lynx Edicions) today- the volume with the hawks- and they describe the subspecies of the White-tailed Hawk albicaudatus as having a dark throat (see image posted) and the more northerly subspecies colonus as having the white throat (as shown here below albicaudatus). They do not mention a sex difference in throat colour. So according to this work your bird is Buteo albicaudatus albicaudatus, male or female, which fits with your location.
Hey John,
Thank you very much for all the info, i will keep trying to get a better picture of them.
