Jerdon's baza (Aviceda jerdoni) is a moderate sized brown hawk with a thin white-tipped black crest usually held erect.[2] It is found in South-east Asia. It inhabits foothills in the terai and is rarer in evergreen forests and tea estates.[2]
The common name and Latin binomial commemorate the surgeon-naturalist Thomas C. Jerdon.[3]
