      Lots of lesser Kestrals around here so I won´t disagree with you and don´t know too much about birds, but that is the oleo strut assembly of an Embraer 190 so that would be one hell of a big Kestral. Was told by ground staff it was an Eagle from sanctuary to the west of GRX, but maybe they were wrong.

      Look at the size of the full gear compared to a man!
