| Background |
|---|
| An immature reportedly photographed. After checking around with multiple sources including, indirectly, the person who photographed it, we learnt that the photo has been lost. No descriptions are in SINAV 16:3. Original description is available in the appended link. The description better fits a juvenile Peregrine Falcon ernestii rather than an Oriental Hobby (which would have black blotches on its underparts as opposed to streaks). |
| Verdict | Not accepted (Verifiable) |
