Photo is taken in a zoo called Artis. Artis is a zoo in the centre of Amsterdam. The link gives you info about their collection, however I didn't found the ID of the bird I photographed.
Could it be a young Golden Eagle...??
Update thanks to Peter (PeterZ):
The Tawny Eagle, (Aquila rapax), is a large bird of prey. It is about 62-72 cm in length and has a wingspan of 165-185cm. Like all eagles, it belongs to the family Accipitridae. It was once considered to be closely related to the migratory Steppe Eagle, Aquila nipalensis, and the two forms have previously been treated as conspecific.

Hi Annick,
I darkened it, sharpened, clarified, warmed the colours and added a larger black border.
Hope you like it,
Joe
