White spot on the back

It can be seen from above or when the eagle soars. It clearly contrasts with the rest of the back, which is chocolate brown. This is an unequivocal reference to recognize the Bonelli´s Eagle.

White belly and breast

They are clearly visible when the eagle flies over us. If it flies near enough we can also see that breast and belly are flecked with brown spots, whose intensity varies in each individual.

Tail with terminal band

The dark band at the end of the tail is a distinctive feature when we see the eagle closely.
