Description
The Steppe Eagle (Aquila nipalensis) is a large bird of prey. Like all eagles, it belongs to the family Accipitridae.
It was once considered to be closely related to the non-migratory Tawny Eagle, Aquila rapax, and the two forms have previously been treated as conspecific (of, or belonging to, the same species). They were split based on pronounced differences in morphology and anatomy (Clark, 1992; Olson, 1994; Sangsteret al., 2002); molecular analysis indicates that these birds are not even each other's closest relatives
