The above specimen is in a very young state of plumage, 
having the crest and feathers of the upper surface broadly tipped 
with buffy white. It agrees well with the majority of the 
serpent eagles found in the Malay Peninsula and in Borneo, 
being very much lighter in general colour than in the typical 
form from Java (Sp. bido, Horsf.).

A pair or so were generally to be seen over the rice fields 
in the Korinchi valley but the species was of course not nearly 
so common as it was on the coast. That from Korinchi has 
the black shaft stripes broader than is usual in this subspecies, 
therein approaching the typical form, Haliastur indus (Bodd.) 
from continental India.
