Buzzard Altercation Mid Air

Buzzard Altercation Mid Air
This is a terrible shot, in that I was watching this bird gain height, and move into the sun (of course!) when out of no where another bird came in and this happened.
Cropped heavily but thought it was interesting behavior.

You know Evan the thought never crossed my mind of Honey Buzzard, however the difference of the head did make me think one of the birds was juvenille and had wondered into the others territory. I don't think its an illusion because its obvious on a couple shots of this altercation.

Going back at the other photos I got (none of which make it easy as mentioned because of the light issue) the bird on the right here, does have a longer tail as well but is about the same size in general, so I'd say its possible. I have another photo I made, composite of the two birds in realatively the same distance and perspective. I'll post it later today, maybe see what you think.
