A relatively large and slender eagle (2) (4) (5) (7), the white-bellied sea eagle (Haliaeetus leucogaster) is a grey and white bird of prey (4) (5) with long, broad wings and a short, wedge- or diamond-shaped tail (2) (3) (4). The head, neck and underparts of this impressive species are white, whereas the back and upper surface of the black-tipped wings are grey (2) (3) (4) (5) (8). The white-bellied sea eagle’s tail has a grey or blackish base (3) (4) (8) (9) and a white tip (4).
The white-bellied sea eagle’s large, hooked beak (8) (10) is bluish-grey, grey or dark grey (4) (8) (9) and has a blackish tip (4). The patch of skin at the base of the beak, which is known as the cere, is light bluish-grey to dark grey (5) (9), and the eyes are brown (5) (8). White or cream-coloured legs and feet (2) (5), which are distinctly unfeathered on the lower portion (5) (9), give way to black talons (8).
