| The black eagle is a large but slender eagle, at about {{convert|75|cm|inch|abbr=on}} in length and {{convert|148|to|182|cm|ftin|0|abbr=on}} in [[wingspan]]. Despite its large appearance (it is one of the largest eagles in its range), known weights are relatively modest, at between {{convert|1000|and|1600|g|lb|abbr=on}}, about half the weight of the partially sympatric [[mountain hawk-eagle]], the latter being of a similar total length. Adults have all-black plumage, with a yellow bill base ([[cere]]) and feet. The wings are long and pinched in at the innermost primaries giving a distinctive shape. The tail shows faint barring and upper tail covers are paler. When perched the wing tips reach till or exceed the tail tip. The wings are held in a shallow V (wings just above the horizontal plane) in flight. Seen on hot afternoons, scouring the treetops for a nest to maraud, this bird is easily spotted by its jet black colour, large size, and a characteristic slow flight, sometimes just above the canopy.<ref name=ras>{{cite book|author1=Rasmussen, P.C. |author2=J.C.
