European lanner falcons (''Falco biarmicus feldeggi'', also called Feldegg's falcon) have slate grey or brown-grey upperparts; most African subspecies are a paler blue grey above.

Sexes are similar, but the browner young birds resemble saker falcons even more. However, sakers have a lighter top of the head and less clear head-side patterns. The lanner's call is a harsh "''wray-e''".
