The '''bateleur''' (French: "acrobat"; ''Terathopius ecaudatus'') is a small eagle found over much of sub-Saharan Africa, and known for the tumbling aerial displays which gives it its name.
==Description==
Bateleurs are up to 30 inches long with a wingspan of nearly 6 feet. Males have a black head, neck, and chest, a chestnut or reddish-brown back and tail, and gray shoulders. The bare face is a brilliant-red, and the short legs and talons are reddish-orange. Females are similar, with gray-colored secondaries instead of black.
