'''Jerdon's baza''' (''Aviceda jerdoni'') is a species of bird of prey of the family Accipitridae, and native to Southeast Asia. It is named for British surgeon and naturalist Thomas C. Jerdon.
==Subspecies==
==Description==
Jerdon's baza is a medium-sized raptor, 16.9 to 18.7 inches in length, a wingspan of 42.8 to 46.2 inches, and a body weight of 12.4 ounces. Females are slightly larger than males. Coloration varies slightly among the subspecies, but generally it is brown above, with banded wings and tail, and whitish below, with tan horizontal bands. The head it light cream to white, and capped by a long, black erectile crest. In flight - and especially with juvenile birds - it can be confused with the [[crested goshawk]] (''Accipiter trivirgatus''), the [[Oriental honey-buzzard]] (''Pernis ptilorhynchus''), or the [[changeable hawk-eagle]] (''Nisaetus cirrhatus'').
The call is described as ''kip kip kip'' or ''tchip TCHEP'', and usually made while in display flights<ref>https://www.xeno-canto.org/species/Aviceda-jerdoni</ref>.

*''Aviceda jerdoni celebensis''; Indonesia: Sulawesi, Banggai, Sula islands.
*''Aviceda jerdoni ceylonensis''; southern India, Sri Lanka
*''Aviceda jerdoni jerdoni''; northeastern India, east to Burma and southern China (Hainan)
*''Aviceda jerdoni magnirostris'': Philippines: Palawan, Samar, and Mindanao.
==Range==
Jerdon's baza is found throughout much of southeastern Asia in largely scattered areas, from southern India eastward to the larger islands of Indonesia, and the Philippines. It is found in tropical forests and wetland areas, and at the forested edges of clearings, to an elevation of
==Threats==
The ICUN has this species classified as "least concern", in part due to its extremely large range<ref>https://www.iucnredlist.org/species/22694956/93480971#assessment-information</ref>. However, study of this bird is incomplete, and confusion with other species, fragmentary population, and unobtrusive behavior may cause it to be overlooked. It is known to suffer habitat loss due to deforestation<ref>http://globalraptors.org/grin/SpeciesResults.asp?specID=8173</ref>.
