Falco naumanni
Identification suggestions (from the community or from AI) and the information here may be wrong; this app never confirms that anything is safe to eat. Do not consume wild plants, mushrooms or seafood without expert confirmation. Nothing here is medical advice.
Do not handle injured birds bare-handed. Stay out of old buildings holding a colony during the breeding season; disturbance can make the whole colony desert.
Ask an adult
Male's back plain brick-red with no spots; the common kestrel male's back is black-spotted
Male shows a blue-grey panel on the greater coverts, contrasting with the rufous back
Claws whitish horn-coloured, black in the common kestrel; the decisive mark in close views
Tail wedge-shaped, the two central feathers projecting slightly beyond the rest
Breeds in colonies on old buildings and cliffs and hunts insects in flocks, unlike the solitary common kestrel
