Lice were manually collected and processed for morphological identification. Examination revealed three species: amblyceran louse Laemobothrion maximum, characterized by its large size (~12 mm), broad head and prominent preocular swellings; Degeeriella fulva, a slender ischnoceran louse (2.0&amp;ndash;2.8 mm) with a distinct head structure, five-segmented antennae and narrow abdomen; and Colpocephalum turbinatum, a smaller amblyceran louse (1.8&amp;ndash;2.5 mm) with a subtriangular head, four-segmented antennae and well-developed mandibles. Morphological features and morphometrics of &amp;nbsp;lice were consistent with standard taxonomic descriptions. The concurrent presence of multiple lice species highlights&amp;nbsp; the&amp;nbsp; ecological&amp;nbsp; diversity &amp;nbsp;of&amp;nbsp; ectoparasites&amp;nbsp; in&amp;nbsp; raptors&amp;nbsp; and&amp;nbsp; emphasizes the importance of detailed morphological identification in wildlife parasitology.&lt;/jats&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
