The white-bellied sea eagle or white-breasted sea eagle (Haliaeetus leucogaster) is a large diurnal bird of prey in the family Accipitridae. A distinctive bird, the adult white-bellied sea eagle has a white head, breast, under-wing coverts and tail. Haliaeetus leucogaster is found from India, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka in southern Asia, through all of coastal Southeast Asia and southern China, eastwards through New Guinea and the Bismarck Archipelago, and Australia.
