The rufous-bellied hawk-eagle (Lophotriorchis kienerii) is a bird of prey in the family Accipitridae that is found in the forested regions of tropical Asia. Relatively small for eagles and contrastingly patterned like a falcon, this species was earlier placed in the genus Hieraaetus and sometimes also in the genus Aquila but thought to be distinctive enough to belong to a separate genus. Order: Accipitriformes, Family: Accipitridae, Species: Lophotriorchis kienerii (G. de Sparre, 1835)
Synonyms:
Hieraaetus kienerii
Astur Kienerii protonym
