Answer: American Samoa
The American Samoa flag is quite complex. The eagle is a bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) with a war club and "fly-whisk" in its talons. The field consists of three triangles, 2 dark blue ones top and bottom with the Apex pointing to the fly and a red-edged white triangle pointing to the hoist. The eagle sits on the fly side of the white triangle. It is probably that species because of it being a symbol of the US. There are no eagles found in American Samoa.
The eagle on the Mexican flag is depicted within the Mexican coat of arms situated centrally on the flag. The eagle is carrying a serpent in its talons, perched on a prickly pear which is on a rock above a lake. The Coat of Arms is a representation of an Aztec pictogram of the formation of Mexico City. For years the eagle has been noted as a "Mexican Eagle" which as a species does not exist. There are eight species of eagle resident in Mexico including the bald eagle. The species of eagle on the flag has been finalised as a golden eagle (Aquila chrysaetos).
The flag of Kazakhstan is a sky blue field with a central 32 ray sun over a golden eagle. There is a golden ornamentation (the Horns of the Rams) on the hoist side. The eagle is a Steppe Eagle (Aquila nipalensis) which is native to Kazakhstan.
