Spanish Imperial Eagle (Aquila adalberti)
About the Spanish Imperial Eagle
The Spanish imperial eagle, Spanish eagle, Iberian imperial eagle or Adalbert's eagle (Aquila adalberti) is a species of eagle native to the Iberian Peninsula. The binomial commemorates Prince Adalbert of Bavaria. Due to its distinct "epaulettes", old literature often referred to this species as the white-shouldered eagle. Formerly, the Spanish imperial eagle was considered to be a subspecies of the eastern imperial eagle, then known simply as the imperial eagle, but is now widely recognised as a separate species due to differences in morphology, ecology, and molecular characteristics.
