A widespread Holarctic hawk with short rounded wings, a long tail and barred underparts, recorded in Borneo only as a rare or accidental straggler well south of its usual wintering range.
A specialist bird hunter, using short bursts of speed and cover to ambush prey, with any Bornean sighting considered a notable extralimital record.
