Conflicted on this image as suspect this is a Tawny eagle but the coloration on the beak is throwing me a bit. Juvy? Welcome insights & C&C.

Thank you, Keith. I really appreciate the help. The one picture I saw of the Bateleur had the mantle as a grey-cream. After reading, it can take up to seven years for immatures to attain full adult plumage. Thanks again for the keen eye. Something tells me I'll need more as I dig into images. ...chasing light, now there's a hobby!
