The Wallace has paler brown upperparts and uppertail will usually show 2 pale bands.

The Blyth will usually show only 1 pale band on unppertail.

I think juvenile Blyth's Hawk Eagle is not sharing the same tail pattern as the adult and could be confused with Wallace's, that one need ask Terence come out give a lecture........ I forgotten the details ready......

What mean for " Ayam "

This is NOT a juvenile.

Ya I know, just that Blyth's juvenile because is brown is often a confusion species for Wallace's, but the tail pattern difference should be a key to ID but I forgotten the pattern.....
