BARP. Placed LM in and stepped back from door to watch. Bird watched lm for ~20-30 seconds then dove down. Great & silent glide. Too close to the front wall for me to see exactly what happened but heard bird take a few attempts, then flew back to perch with prey. Tossed in the remaining prepped food.
Given injury I think it would be worth doing one more sprinkle test with a fully dark LM - this one had a white abdominal band.
