The African Harrier-Hawk - often called Gymnogene - is an interesting raptor with long wings and tail and crest. The adult is predominantly grey, with black wing tips and striped belly, and the juvenile is brown. Seen on several occasions in Gambia during my visit.

Similar: Male Hen Harrier
Marsh Harriers can be seen in the Camargue all year round and many fly east-west past Monaco on autumn migration in September.
The adult male Marsh Harrier is fairly easy to recognise. From below it has black wing tips, white wings, brown body and head.
Females are quite variable and thus more difficult to recognise - they typically have brown body and coverts and darkish wing tips. Dark mark through eye. Can have white cap and neck, white shoulder.
Juveniles are very dark with whitish head.

Record shots of a female Hen Harrier seen in January in the Camargue, flying low over salt marshes.
The IOC name is Northern Harrier, which also describes the US subspecies; Hen Harrier, Circus cyaneus cyaneus, is the name used in the UK and describes only the Eurasian bird.
Note white band on rump - a good indicator.

The IOC lump both US and Eurasian subspecies as Northern Harrier - the latter also describes just the US subspecies, C. c. hudsonius, split by some taxonomies.

Long Winged Harrier

Bird name: Long Winged Harrier
Latin: Circus buffoni

Family: Accipitridae • Harriers, Birds of Prey
Range:
Similar:
The Long-winged Harrier was one of the more common birds of prey in the Lagoa do Peixe area. It lives in southeastern Brazil and neighbouring countries, migrating higher up South America in the winter, when it can be found as far north as Belem.
There are two types of Long-winged Harrier in Brazil, a light and a dark form, both of which were present near Mostardas. The pale form, above with frog, has a white belly and much white on underside of wings.
In the dark form, the light areas are replaced by black in the male and brown in the female. Both have rings round the neck, and a white face, with some dark around the eye. The tip of the bill is dark. The dark bars on light wings give the impression of small squares drawn on the underside of the wings.
Wings are long and swept back in a v-shape with long fingers.

Cinereous Harrier

Bird name: Cinereous Harrier

Family: Accipitridae • Harriers, Birds of Prey
Range:
Similar:
In Brazil, the Cinereous Harrier is found only in Rio Grande do Sul, usually only in the southern winter, but this one was seen in Mostardas in late November. Its typical range is the southern cone South American countries and across the Andes to Colombia.
This Cinereous Harrier looks like a male by its white underside of wings and rufous barred chest. Wing tips are dark, a dark band runs along the back of the wing. The top side of the wings are grey like the head and neck. It has a long, straight, very lightly-barred tail. Irises are yellow with some yellow at the base of the bill. Great-looking bird! The female is generally browner.
He was carrying a small bird, maybe a rail? and flying in woodland near the Lagoa do Peixe.More photos...
