Is this an Osprey?

Another bird I photograhed near Cotter's Lake at Wilson's Prom I don't know what it is so would appreciate some help to identify it.

rozkidd - the Brown Falcon has a number of colour variations and your bird certainly has a light face and breast; the distinguishing 'Brown Falcon' mark to look for is the tear drop/s or dark streak/s from the eye
