A large dark raptor soaring overhead with large white patches under the wings is most likely an immature bald eagle. True or False?

The statement is false because, while immature bald eagles do display some dark plumage, they typically do not exhibit large white patches under their wings that are prominent enough to be easily visible during flight. Immature bald eagles often present a mix of brown and white feathers, and their wings might show some lighter mottling, but the distinct white patches would not be characteristic of them. Typically, adult bald eagles are recognized for their stark white head and tail, and while they become progressively more identifiable as they mature, the significant white patches seen in flight are more reflective of other species, such as the American kestrel or certain larger raptors like the white-tailed eagle. Thus, identifying a large dark raptor with pronounced white wing patches as an immature bald eagle is inaccurate.
