Hello Larry,

Going off your last image link, it appears the bird of prey is carrying a badly damaged roundel as a trophy of a successful kill. Identifying the bird, which is quite stylized, requires looking at the shape of the head and the tail as key features in my view. So here are a few image links which I hope will prove helpful or inspire others to provide further input.

Hawk

Best,
