If you put the image into Photoshop and apply some shadow reduction, the head and under-primaries reveal enough to give the ID away. Looking at the tail, there are only four feather tips but the bird has spread them to compensate. An excellent choice for a mystery bird David.

Booted?
hmm..my first thought..OHB. The head looks a bit bulky though. Mun could be right too...see that whitish patch on the wings..
Mmmmm...
Is it one of those dark Danum Valley Honey Buzzard thingys ?
It does look like an oddly dark-colored OHB...
No idea.
But to make a guess Black Eagle

No rush on the Pipits, Cheers Jeff.
This is what exactly I count as booted eagle last year.
