The dark chanting goshawk is medium-sized and grey with fine barring on the belly, red cere and legs and brown eyes. The juveniles and immatures have a grey and white barred rump which separates them from the otherwise similar immature pale chanting goshawk and yellow eyes. These birds were photographed in the Serengeti NP, Ndutu, Yaida Valley, Lake Eyasi and Selous. The right upper immature is courtesy of Paul Oliver; the left 3rd row, Steve Kraus; right 3rd row, Roger Zimmerman; left 4th row, Chris Schmeling; the left flight photo, Siegfried Woldhek; and the right flight photo, Marie-France Grenouillet.
