Hi Baz,
You have captured a Brahminy Kite, which after the Black Kite is next most common raptor in Goa. Pity your shor is not so sharp, otherwise nice in that one can easily identify it.

Curiosa ave. Una lástima que esté tan alejada y se aprecien poco los detalles.
Un saludo,
JL

It's a Brahmin Kite, I agree with Ivan (Argus).
Good inflight shot but lower details.
