Peregrine, Not a Prarie Falcon

Peregrine, Not a Prarie Falcon (Falco peregrinus)

Down in Southern AZ, I knocked off a few shots of this one from a distance. Back on my PC at home I noticed every picture of this guy looked like some kind of jet pulling some serious G's! Not a good picture, but a cool bird none-the-less. Thanks for the correction on species. I got a little mixed up.

Are you sure that that this is a Prairie Falcon? To me the dark patern on the face looks more like a Peregrine.
