==Description==
The Sulawesi hawk-eagle is medium-sized, about 21.2 to 25.2 inches long, with a wingspan of 43.4 to 53.2 inches. Females are slightly larger than males. The adults are dark-brown above, with a head and upper chest rufus-brown and spotted in black; unlike other species of hawk-eagle, this bird does not bear a crest. Lower chest, belly, and leg feathers are white, with narrow dark horizontal banding. Wings are dark brown above, and black-barred white below, with narrow bands on the primaries and secondaries. The tail is moderately-long, with four wide, dark horizonatal bands. Juvenile birds have brown wings and back, with the head, neck, and and underparts white, with no banding.

Classified as "least concern" by the ICUN today, primarily as a result of Sulawesi being covered by large areas of forest; yet as late as 1994 it was classified as "near threatened" due to habitat loss and human persecution<ref>http://globalraptors.org/grin/SpeciesResults.asp?specID=8337</ref>.
