: But to add to the levity and increase the species count for the bird on the left (now up to four choices), my first reaction was a juv. Broad-winged Hawk, and I still think that's a reasonable guess
Broad-winged Hawk is a reasonable candidate for this bird, but what about juvenile Gray Hawk? This bird appears to show barred leg feathers and conspicuous white tips to the uppertail coverts. Would a Broad-winged Hawk show those marks?
