=====
The brahminy kite (Haliastur indus), also known as the red-backed sea-eagle in Australia, is a medium-sized bird of prey in the family Accipitridae, which also includes many other diurnal raptors, such as eagles, buzzards, and harriers. They are found in the Indian subcontinent, Southeast Asia, and Australia. Brahminy kites are found mainly on the coast and in inland wetlands, where they feed on dead fish and other prey. Adults have a reddish-brown body plumage contrasting with their white head and breast which make them easy to distinguish from other birds of prey.
Four subspecies are recognized:

Haliastur indus indus (Boddaert, 1783) is found in South Asia.
Haliastur indus flavirostris Condon & Amadon, 1954 is found in the Solomon Islands.
Haliastur indus girrenera (Vieillot, 1822) is found in New Guinea, Bismarck Archipelago, and Australia.
Haliastur indus intermedius Blyth, 1865 is found in the Malay Peninsula and into the islands of the Sundas, Sulawesi, and the Philippines.
