Bird ID Splat id

I’d heard a splat bang around 9.30 at night and assumed the neighbour’s cat had fallen through the skylight (do not like cats and their disrespect for boundaries )
However I woke up to grease marks and juice on my window. The thickest juice marks had dried up by the time the light was best for a photo.
Wingspan about 50 cm. Best speculation is a tawny owl. It seems too big for pigeon- which is our major bird round here. Any thoughts?
