Robert Forstag (asker) Jan 25, 2009:
Rachel: No. Milano rubio and Milano real are the common names for Milvus milvus--this would have been clearer if the italics had not been lost when I pasted the text into the question field. Sorry.
Rachel Fell Jan 25, 2009:
Maybe I'm reading the Q. wrong, but isn't it saying it's a common/local name for Milvus migrans

Harpy Hawk (Circus cyaneus) / Harpy bat (East Indies only)

Spelling is a common variation form in LA - harpia = arpia. Since the regular "harpy" is the largest of all eagles, the "lleta" would most likely be the Circuc cyaneu, or harpy hawk.
There is also a harpy bat, but this is found only in the East Indes.
