I agree with Laura - Shikra. Among other things, Peregrines are much darker above.

can you also help me in confirming this spotting? http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/16071201 doubting between a brahminy kite juvenile or balck kite? Thanks
ajkclicks
thanks for the suggestions should be Shikra only and I go with it :-)

I doubt it too, but I saw a subspecies of peregrine falcon called minor, and it looks pretty similar to this one, sorry if my suggestion wasn't accurate, it's just a suggestion anyways... :)

this was spotted in open near ranganthittu bird sanctuary

r u sure this is a Peregrine Falcon? Check the eyes? I was doubting between a Shikra vs Eurasian Sparrowhawk

Nice shot. To aid us with identification of this hawk, can you please share if this was spotted in a zoo? Or is it wild and indigenous to India? Thanks.
