Falco femoralis.

The light was really bad, it was almost noon.
I was returning from a birding time with a friend of mine, who borrow me his 600mm lens.

f/8, 1/500, EV + 1/3, ISO 400, @840mm
Canon 7D, 600mm + TC 1.4x

No, the light wasn't in your favor, but what a beautiful bird. I've yet to see on in the wild, so until I do I'll gladly gaze upon nice images like this one. By the way, you did a nice job handling the harsh light - you might be able to open up the area around the eye a little to draw more attention to this area.

Nice photo and even nicer to have friends with large lenses. Good job with the lighting.
