Terence Ang - took a special interest by trying to ID this pictures.
He asked around and Dr. Chaiyan a pro in raptor think it could be either both female Japanese Sparrowhawk (Accipiter gularis) or Eurasian Sparrowhawk (Accipiter nisus).
Without additional pictures and information, the ID is stopped at this two possibilities. Thanks Terence for your help.

Love both shots. Wonder what a bird thinks of as he sits on a branch up so high.
He is a big one!
Congratulations on this great capture!
fantastic shot, this one is spot on.
This bird is so beautifull!.. loved the photos!
Wow Tabib...
This is a fantastic shot of a big guy... I love its attitude on the first one!
excellent, congratulations for the photograph
Great find and great shots.
I wish I could, in one day, be the one who takes picture instead of being aimed by others.
Wonderful!
If I am asked to identify it at gunpoint, (or before being subjected to advanced interrogation techniques), I would say Eurasian Sparrowhawk. I am happy to be corrected. What ever it is, it is a bloody good find!
Excellent shot of the hawk.

The intense stare of the top photo keeps my eyes locked upon this bird of prey. Nice job catching its behavior Tabib.
Amazing shot and detail!
where did you photographed this in Fraser's? I was at High Pines last Friday and saw an Accipiter flew pass, too brief and far views, and I could only conclude to either Japanese / Eurasian Sparrowhawk. Apparently I believed your Eurasian is still the only confirmed Accipiter on Fraser's.
This was photographed at Telekom Loop /Girdle road, not far from Rumah Persekutuan.
Thanks Tabib, only saw the Black Eagle at Telekom Loop.
