Spotted this mighty beauty while I was attempting to capture a flock of Sea gulls resting on the Kelshi beach. Was taken by surprise as I was more concerned capturing the gulls, hence couldnt get a good/ sharp capture of its flight(was captured in noon). Initially I confused it to be an Osprey, but a close observation of the frame made me clear that it wasnt an Osprey. Need help in identification of the bird. The size was close to that of an Osprey, may be a bit bigger than it.

Location: Kelshi beach

Nope, its proportions were way different from the earlier one. This one was much more longer as compared to its width(as compared to white bellied sea Eagle)

Immature White-bellied Sea eagle. Agree with Roopak Bhai.
It remains immature may be for two or three years. Thanks for sharing.SaktiWild

Agree that this looks like an white-bellied sea eagle immature. Nice pose.
