I am sorry, but that is not a saker. It looks like the bird has saker blood in him, but he is not a pure saker. Maybe a saker/peregrine? Some of the stripes on the chest kinda suggest that. Sakers are light brown with lighter brown spots on dark feathers and very light, creamy heads that are in a beautiful contrast with the rest of the body.
But it is a great shot

I am afraid you are wrong. At Hellenthal are no hybrids! It is a juvenile saker falcon.
