Yesterday evening about 18:20, I had just got out of the car at home when a grey falcon with red rear end flew above my head, my first thought was Hobby as i know they have red 'trousers' as it were. I've had a look through my Collin's guide and see Hobby is streaky underneath with white throat, this bird was all grey with a red-rear, the only other bird I could see that looked like it was male red-footed falcon.
I have now convinced myself it was red-footed falcon as I can't find any thing else that matches the bird I've seen.
Can anyone suggest more common birds that look like red-footed falcon that a beginner like me could have confused it with?
If not I'm putting it down a red-footed falcon
