I know it’s a dreadful photo (taken with phone), but I thought the shape was visible enough to identify?

To my eye, unmistakable! White-bellied Sea-eagles have a slightly wedged tail when fanned, but it's shorter. Not a bad photo at all, with a phone!!
Oh, and photo aside, were you confident it was a wedgie?
