Help ID

I made this image last week in south east Brasil. I need help with the bird ID.

Thank you,
Adams Serra

Hi Adams- I hope this one is less problematic than the White-tailed Hawk!

According to my Princeton Illustrated Checklist "Birds of Southern South America and Antarctica" by M. de la Peña and M. Rumboll, this is a Yellow-headed Caracara (Milvago chimachima). There's one other caracara in the Milvago genus- the familiar Chimango Caracara.

I like the image. Too bad there's not a bit more detail in the face.

John, Thank you very much for your help again.

Good call John....looked through my books and could not place this bird although it looked like a Caracara type bird...checked the Yellow Headed and its spot on. LOL on the White Tailed Hawk...image nice, wish it was a little closer, but you have to take what you get some times...Paul
