Eurasian Sea Eagle
very large eagle with short tail and long wingspan, on avg more than eagles of similiar size

it is often cited as the "world's 4th biggest eagle" but, like the phillippine eagle, there's no reliable data to support this...howvere it does posses on avg, slightly longer wingspan compared to eagles of similiar size, and records of up to 7.5kg in weight.

he White-tailed Eagle is a large bird, 69–92 cm (27–36 in) long with a 182–244 cm (72–96 in) wingspan. Females, weighing 4–6.9 kg (8.8–15.2 lbs), are slightly larger than males, which weigh 3.1-5.4 kg (6.8–12 lbs).[3] It is the fourth largest eagle in the World.[4] It has broad "barn door" wings, a large head and a thick "meat-cleaver" beak.

puportedly europe's largest eagle, but it is no match for the golden eagle, there's an account of a golden eagle crushing a sea eagle in mid-air

always amazing to see how much smaller and slimmer the male eagle is

the feet and talons are no match for the booted eagles

Here are lists of the top five eagles going on weight, length and, lastly, wingspan. Unless otherwise noted via reference, the figures listed are the median reported for each measurement in the guide Raptors of the World (Ferguson-Lees, et al.), in which only measurements that could be personally verified by the authors were listed.

They could be measured variously in total length, body mass or wingspan. Different lifestyle needs among various eagles result in variable measurements from species to species. For example, many forest-dwelling eagles, including the very large Harpy and Philippine Eagles, have relatively short wingspans, a feature necessary for being able to maneuver in quick, short bursts through dense forested habitats. On the other hand, eagles in the genus Aquila are found almost strictly in open country, are superlative soarers, and have relatively long wings for their size.
