Name please?

Captured in Chobe National Park, Botswana.
Even with a feild guide, I still find it difficult to identify certain raptors. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks for looking.

Don't know myself but certainly a beautiful bird. Looks so majestic perched up there.

Looks very much like a female Kestrel to me, but is a falcon for sure.And you have a great picture.
