Would you agree that this is an immature dark morph Red-tailed Hawk ?
The photo was made February 7 along the Upper Newport Bay (aka Back Bay) in Newport Beach, Orange County, California. The bird is swooping down on a mouse from its perch. There is some orangy hue in the picture as it was made at 1700h (and at 1800h it was dark).
