Hi @Rixon just wondering if you have any other photos that may show the tail, as in all these shots the tail looks rounded like that of a Whistling Kite?

@MatthewFrawley I don't have any additional photos but mine was only a guess, I'm not good at identifying so I would say you are right.

All good, nice to have my suggestion verified by @Liam.m as it does look to be a Whistling Kite.
