Do wedge tailed eagles eat a lot of carrion? It kinda looks like it because he's got a considerable amount of bare skin on his face.
This is a beautiful shot too, by the way

thanks. Nah, they're basically like Australia's version of the golden eagle. If they ate carrion predominately the top of the head would likely be featherless

and a quest; thereΒ΄s a competition going on in one birdclub here, about raptorbirds, and since IΒ΄ve never drawn them but would love to join, may ask your permission to draw this? IΒ΄d of course give you credit mentioning itΒ΄s based on YOUR photo and thereΒ΄d also be a link to it

It also doesn't have golden hackles, it's are the same color as the rest of it's feathers.

Yeah, they look close. Wedge tailed eagles are a bit darker, though.
