A variable-plumaged forest eagle (hence 'changeable'), ranging from pale to dark morphs, with a short crest and broad wings, tolerant of a wider range of habitats than most Bornean forest eagles, including forest edge and plantation.
Hunts birds and small mammals, often soaring conspicuously over forest and open country, making it one of the more frequently observed large raptors in Sabah.
