It certainly looks like it when comparing my photos with photos of him of which I have now been made aware.

Thanks very interested in any Baldy sightings - this is the 5th year in a row (that we know about) that he and his partner have returned to the Aranda Bushland area, during the breeding season, which is just about to start. They have nested in two of the four years we have been watching them, and successfully fledged a male and female chick last season.
