Jaap, I'm sure it's a Wahlberg's Eagle. Can sometimes be confused with a dark vers. Tawny Eagle or Steppe Eagle.

The giveaway is the yellow gape which extends only as far in line as the middle of the eye, & shaggy appearance of the feathers which are both characteristic of a Wahlberg's Eagle.

I even thought the gape slightly long and I missed the lighter ring around the eye, but I couldn't think of an alternative ;) Thanks for confirming. Eagles have so much variety... :(

It's extremely easy to confuse the brown-coloured Eagles with each other, often the differences can be very subtle.
