I have adjusted the lighting. I can see darkness around the eye on the side view. On the other pic I can see a dark line of feathers on the leading edge of the wing and darker feathers under the wing tips

That's all I have. The closer I got, the further it moved away. It was a small raptor. I will see if I can play with the lighting on the pic!
