EOS-1D Mk II, EF600/4L + EF1.4x
Incident @ zero, ISO 320, 1/1250s @ f/7.1

Hi KK

Another excellent flight capture & it looks like the sun was out too! :mrgreen:

This looks like a 1st winter male IMO, as the plumage is too contrasty for a female. Note the pale head & orange tones on belly. Young males go through a 'sub-eclipse' stage that is intermediate between true eclipse & full adult breeding. Usually attained early autumn, it can last through until late winter.
