Spizaetus melanoleucus (Vieillot, 1816)

Record. Table 3.

The road-killed Black-and-white Hawk-Eagle individual was identified by its shape, size (Wc = 35.7 cm; probably an adult male), and color. The carcass was in poor condition, and was flattened and separated in parts by scavengers. However, we identified it by its white plum- age on the underparts, white head and neck with black

mask and crest, orange cere and beak with black tip, black upper wings and shoulders; the feathers of the tail were barred black with white tips, the yellow feet had black talons, and the tarsi were completely white-feathered.
