Unidentified Raptor

G'mornin', everybody. I haven't been able to get out much lately but did make it to the Red River National Wildlife Refuge HQ Unit in Bossier City for a bit this morning. The first sight that I was greeted with was this strange bird floating silently over Lake Caroline. I'm not sure exactly what it is, but I did see a full grown human waving frantically from within it's talons. This leads me to believe that it is some sort of raptor, albeit, a somewhat colorful one. I ran the image through an Oil Paint filter to try to make up for some of the haze in the sky but without getting too heavy handed. Not sure I pulled it off but, either way, here it is. Thanks for the look and I hope you like.

I would say that it will remain unidentified as there is no photo posted.

I may be dating myself, but it could be a 'Flying Purple People Eater'.
