The greater spotted eagle (Clanga clanga), also called the spotted eagle, is a large migratory bird of prey in the family Accipitridae. It is a member of the subfamily Aquilinae , commonly known as "booted eagles". [ 2 ]
The Indian spotted eagle (Clanga hastata) is a large bird of prey native to South Asia.Like all typical eagles, it belongs to the family Accipitridae.The typical eagles are often united with the buteos, sea eagles and other more heavy-set Accipitridae, but more recently it appears as if they are less distinct from the more slender accipitrine hawks.
The genus Clanga was described in 1854 by the Polish naturalist Adam Ferdynand Adamowicz (1802-1881). [2] [3] [4] The type species is Falco maculatus J. F. Gmelin, 1788, a synonym of Aquila clanga (the greater spotted eagle) that was described in 1811 by Peter Simon Pallas.
The lesser spotted eagle (Clanga pomarina) is a large Eastern European bird of prey.Like all typical eagles, it belongs to the family Accipitridae.The typical eagles are often united with the buteos, sea eagles, and other more heavy-set Accipitridae, but more recently it appears as if they are less distinct from the more slender accipitrine hawks than believed.

Genetically, the "spotted eagles" (A. pomarina, A. hasata & A. clanga), have been discovered to be more closely related to the long-crested eagle (Lophaetus occipitalis) and the black eagle (Ictinaetus malaiensis), and many generic reassignments have been advocated. [5] [6] Some authorities [who?] place the spotted eagles in a separate genus ...
Clockwise from top left: Bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus), cinereous harrier (Circus cinereus), greater spotted eagle (Clanga clanga), harpy eagle (Harpia harpyja), secretarybird (Sagittarius serpentarius), osprey (Pandion haliaetus), slate-colored hawk (Buteogallus schistaceus), Galapagos hawk (Buteo galapagoensis), white-backed vulture (Gyps africanus) (center).
Either the greater spotted eagle and lesser spotted eagle should move from Aquila to join the long-crested eagle in Lophaetus, or, perhaps better, all three of these species should move to Ictinaetus with the black eagle. The steppe eagle and tawny eagle, once thought to be conspecific, are not even each other's nearest relatives. Family ...
