English term or phrase: Its wings drooped in an easy curve
Доброго времени суток.

A brown minullus hawk rode high and alone above the silence of the arid plain. Its wings drooped in an easy curve against a green flush of African dawn. Below it, the broad lowland marked by a dry river donga lay in shadow, while the early sky gathered reflected light. In the growing day, not a breath of dust stirred the wild grass and mimosa thorn. The bird shifted a little, an alignment of patient grace, as the dismounted horseman watched and listened.

Его опущенные полусогнутые крылья изящным силуэтом темнели на фоне зеленеющей в лучах зари равнины.
