Hawk. Immature Red-shouldered Hawk?
I innitialy id this bird as immature RSH, since this bird is very common around my area... South Florida, but after looking at few pics on the net I am not so sure.
I only manage to take this single shot. picture taken 21-JUL-2007

Excellent action photo! I agree with you. It's a juv. RSH. "South Florida" variety. Buteo lineatus extimus. See Wheeler's Raptors of Eastern North America. The description on the bird shown in plate 223 closely matches this bird. "Thick dark malar throat stripe. - Heavily marked breast creates bib; flanks and belly less heavily spotted and partially barred. Finely barred leg feathers."
