Hello M'
welcome to BF
It's closer to a male barn owls secondary feathers, R11
I'm not prepared to say you "gots" one there
Respectfully, a more detailed pic is required, which includes a ruled scale, preferably metric.
Most hawks, soaring buteos, and woodland accipiters are shaped differently, and have some sort of barring.
You can use this link and browse through the scans.
You'll see barn owls, and why yours looks similar, but likely isn't a barn owl.
Menu choice "Identify Feather" is handy for comparrison
As a matter of interest, many migratory birds and all birds of prey are protected in the US. Even possessing a found feather is in violation of laws. Sounds strict, but it does discourage ruthless collectors.
