The Ornate hawk-eagle is a bird-of-prey which lives in the tropical Americas. This bird is a true eagle and has a wingspan of three to four feet. The ornate hawk-eagle is known for its striking markings, as seen here in this painting.

Here, the bird has its crest raised (dark feathers on top of its head). The ornate hawk-eagle raises its crest, at will, when it gets excited or curious about something. This bird is also in the "mantling" position, which is typical of a bird-of-prey guarding a fresh-kill (though no evidence of food was in the photo which I used as a reference to paint this bird).
