Haliastur is a genus of medium-sized diurnal birds of prey. It consists of two species of kite which form part of the subfamily Milvinae; some authorities place these species in the genus Milvus,[1] despite clear differences in behaviour, voice and plumage.[2]
Species list
Both of the species found in this genus are large for kites; both are relatively small-headed and have rounded tail tips.[3]
- Brahminy kite, Haliastur indus
- Whistling kite, Haliastur sphenurus
