Swainson's Hawk? (1 Viewer)

Took several photos of this hawk in August near Edmonton, Alberta.

I am not positive on the ID, but thinking Swainson's in part because he was pretty patient with me stopping the car, unrolling the window and sticking a giant lens out the side. Most of our other roadside hawks here don't have any patience for that.

The colour morph has me doubting myself though, so thought I'd check to see what the indicators are against Broad-winged and Rough-Legged here.

Thanks!
