why do you say that?.. looks adult to me. but I would like to know.
Pictures can be decieving, but the size of it and the the feathers look a little softer compaired to most of the Pictures I've seen of them. I am by no means a reliable source, it was just feeling I have looking at it.

Either way it's a very nice set of images.

Size is usually a sign of sex.. Males are smaller than females. Also called sexual dimorphism. you really need to see side by side to tell.

by the way.. the feather hanging from the mouth is probably a bird it just eat.. which is a new one on me since I have only seen these birds eat rodents, etc.
