[ID: A photograph of a barred eagle-owl from below, looking up at it as it perches in a tree, looking down towards the camera. The owl has dark grey or black wings and face ,and its chest is light grey with brown or grey streaks and spots. Its feet are bright orange. Its face is dark, its beak is yellow orange, and two large ear tufts emerge from the sides of its head behind its eyes, making its head appear like it has large eyebrows. Large leaves are behind it, brightly lit by sunlight. End ID.]
