Not sure it's a raptor. None of the raptors in my field guide have red towards the tips of the wings, it's always on the shoulders. I believe this is one of the red-winged starlings, and it looks bigger because it's closer to the camera. Starlings often follow grazers around to feed on the insects that the larger animals disturb.

Its feet and bill don't look raptorish. I don't think it's a starling, but it seems to be some medium sized passerine. And the red hue of the light wing patches may not be 'real'. Not sure about this one.

Looks to me like it has a rufous tail with white edges, and longish legs. Maybe a scrub robin of some kind? Cercotrichas spp? Birds in S Europe migrate to south of the Sahara, and the capture was in November... just a guess! 😉
