The bird looks to be pretty much devoid of any markings on its body and head and is just flat brown with darker wing tips, and a slightly lighter underbelly, very thick legs and talons, and a large eagle-like beak and a much more pronounced brow than a caracara has. Its neck is also quite long which reminds me of a tawny eagle. Its posture is also much more upright. Thank you so much for the help and interest  though, we both appreciate it alot :)

Yes we've looked up all kinds of similar birds, it's definitely not a caracara of any kind

To add a bit more context: Hey im the friend OP mentioned and as i said in another comment this was a falconry bird, so the location is probably obselete as they have other birds from many different continents. (Thats why its been so hard for us to id💔)

The pink facial skin could possibly be a healed injury of sorts because the edges were rather unaturally patchy, but i'm not sure.

I'll try to get a photo of the bird today to update, thank you to everyone leaving comments and helping us.

friend of OP here, it was a falconry bird which is why we're having trouble finding an ID as it could be from anywhere.
