A large, powerful brown falcon with broad wings, a pale head and dark streaks on its underside. It lives in open grasslands, mountain steppes and sparsely wooded areas, where it hunts small mammals and birds. Illegal trapping, habitat loss, persecution and electrocution on power lines threaten its survival.
