Whistling Kite is overall paler and has a rounded tail rather than the forked tail of the Black Kite.

Thanks @MatthewFrawley
I am always learning. The tails did seem as forked as the other Black Kites. More than happy to be guided by more knowledgeable people as I keep learning!
Greatly appreciated.
