My daughter found this 26 cm long feather while having a walk on a mountain area located in north of Spain. She's curious (now me too) about which bird it belongs to.
Most easily seen big birds here are kites and kestrels but there's a wide variety of raptors around this area so it could be anything.
Would be grateful for any ID help 😊

Do you have raptors? Reminds me of a hawk feather.
Yep all kind of raptors. Thnx I will do some research about hawk feathers
This is a Western marsh harrier (Circus aeruginosus)
Depending on the time of year, raptors have different color phases.
Nice bird 😍
After some research on www.featherbase.info (I didn't know about this site yesterday) seems to fit buzzard (buteo buteo) and red kite (milvus milvus) feathers description, pattern and size.
Milvus milvus (red kite)
Buzzard (buteo buteo)

Both look very similar. There's a slight difference on the stripes width.
Thank you both for the help 🧡
Search owls and buzzards also, I noticed some light variations in both.
Seems to be too big for a hawk
Turkey.
There are no wild turkeys on this part of the world but thnx anyway :)
This website claims Spain has turkeys:
I looks like a buzzard feather. We have heaps around here.
Yeah buzzards are quite common around here too, unfortunately for the mice :) thnx for the help
