A fairly large raptor of lowland and foothill forest in the northern Philippines. Dark brown above and pale brown below with a streaked head and chest and a finely barred lower belly. Note the long hind crest and the chin stripe. In flight, has barred wings and a fairly long tail, both with a dark terminal band. Juveniles are much paler. Remarkably similar to Philippine Honey-buzzard, but head doesn’t project as far forward from the wings. Voice is a fairly high, screeching “week wik!” or single “week!”
