Brown Falcon?

Could any of the bird specialists confirm what I think is a juvenile Brown Falcon.

Yup, that be a Brown Falcon, teardrops under the eyes are the identifying feature.

Not sure if it's still a juvi , maybe two year old. That's a wild guess though.

Thanks Mick, thought I spotted a bit of left over juvenile plumage on the bird, that's what gave me the idea.

There's a pair of them in the vicinity of a quarry where I do a bit of vollunteering of a Tuesday, so hopefully I'll get another chance to phtograph them with a more appropriate lens. (Only had my kit 18-135 zoom with me this week).

A very handsome bird. Looking forward to seeing more shots of them with the Sigma.
