Hi, Went out to feed the birds yesterday and this hawk was flying over my backyard and feeders.

It's not a great picture but was wondering if any knows what kind of hawk it is.

Thanks for all you help.

Looks like a Red-tailed Hawk, brown head and a streaked "belly band".

It is a Red-tailed Hawk - notice the belly band and the dark trailing edge on wing.
