Received these photographs and have my opinion, but as always value any input. What species would you say as a straight choice between Hen and Pallid?

I am not sure about female Pallid Harrier.

Photograph 2 & 3 shows stripes on the undertail coverts.  I thought on a female Pallid Harrier the stripes finished half-way down the belly.  Therefore, I think it is a female Hen Harrier.
