Hi all,
I would be very grateful to receive competent opinions about this hawk - the photo was taken in March 2010, Costa Rica.
Red-tailed Hawk (RTH) or Swainson's Hawk (SH) are the two options for me - possibly juvenile/immature bird:
Pros for RTH: overall colouration on underparts
Pros for SH: dark iris, dark tail pattern
Many thanks in advance!
