The Black-chested Snake Eagle or black-breasted snake eagle (Circaetus pectoralis) is a large African bird of prey of the Accipitridae family. Masai Mara National Reserve, Kenya.

A massive eagle with a short but prominent crest. The adult is uniformly brown on the head, back, and chest, with a pale belly covered in brown blotches. Martial eagles inhabit woodland, plains, and semi-desert, where they hunt for vertebrates. Martial Eagles have extremely keen eyesight and can locate prey from six kilometers away. Juvenile Martial and Crowned eagles are similar, but Martial has whitish (not buffy) underparts, unspotted flanks, and narrower bars on the tail.

Though they can be quite variable, most Swainson's Hawks are light-bellied birds with a dark or reddish-brown chest and brown or gray upperparts. They have distinctive underwings with white wing linings that contrast strongly with blackish flight feathers. Most males have gray heads; females tend to have brown heads.
