This is probably the first kite I've seen without a v-shaped tail
We have a lot where I live, I am by no means an expert but it may because it was making a hard turn.
That's interesting. Maybe it's a regional difference.
Oh, a lot here definitely have the forked tails here. But typically when they are less 'fanned-out' as in this picture.
Edit: I just looked at some of the other pictures and most do have the wide fanned tail, maybe because they were flying slowly, scanning the ground for something (there must have been something interesting nearby as there were a few around).
