DESCRIPTION

It is the strongest rapaz that furrows our skies. It possesses long and broad wings and the tail with the square end. Dun dark back with the head and nape of golden reflections. Low dun parts, more whites of egg that the back. Tail with bands badly definite, grey dark. Cheek crossed by a chestnut-colored dark band. Chestnut-colored eye, wax and yellow fingers. It has many individual differences due to the sex, age and plumages. The females have a dark brown plumage that tends to the black. With a golden lock and without white spots in the wings and tail. Juvenile darker than the adults with white spots under wings and tail, these spots will be disappearing successively and the plumage will catch on and be definitive at the age of 4
