Flores Hawk-Eagle
The Flores Hawk-Eagle (Nisaetus floris) (formerly Spizaetus floris), is a fairly large, up to 75–79 centimetres (30–31 in) long, raptor in the family Accipitridae.
Adults have dark brown upperparts, a brown tail with six bars, a white patch in the wings that is visible in flight, white underparts, and a white head with fine brownish streaks on the crown (many books erroneously illustrate adults with largely brown heads).
An Indonesian endemic, the Flores Hawk-Eagle is distributed in forests of Flores, Lombok and Sumbawa in the Lesser Sundas. It mainly occurs in lowlands, but has been recorded at altitudes as high as 1,600 metres (5,200 ft).
