Mascot of Jakarta, Indonesia ?

The Brahminy Kite, or Red Backed Sea Eagle ("Elang Bondol" in Indonesian Bahasa) a raptor or bird of prey) is the official Mascot of Jakarta. A kite is smaller than an eagle.

The Brahminy Kite should not be confused with the mythical Garuda or "Golden Eagle" which appears on the Indonesian National Coat of Arms; although this smaller kite could be the modern representation of the Garuda.
