The steppe and common buzzards are usually considered a single species. Most seen in Tanzania are the steppe migrants. The bird in flight has the usual steppe appearance: rufous tones and rufous tail. The flight photo was taken at Sumbawanga, courtesy of Silas Olofson. The upper sitting bird was photographed in the Addo Elephant NP (Zambia, 1-09), courtesy of Mike Graham; the middle, at Pilanesberg (So. Africa, 2-11), courtesy of Karine Van der Vurst and the lower bird, at the Gibbs Farm waterfall (11-04).
