The rufous-winged buzzard (Butastur liventer) is an Asian bird of prey.

It is a species of deciduous forest and second growth up to 800 m. The adult rufous-winged buzzard is 38–43 cm long.

It has a grey head and underparts, with some streaking on the crown, neck and breast.

[citation needed] This species is similar in size and shape to the migratory grey-faced buzzard, but that species has browner upperparts and tail, a white throat, and brown-barred white belly.

The rufous-winged buzzard eats lizards, small mammals and large insects.
