Bird id question (1 Viewer)

[Duceir96]

I was recently hiking in Phoenix Arizona and discovered a bird feather of a species I am unfamiliar with. I am unsure but based on the size im thinking its a type of hawk, specifically the zone tailed hawk based off of pictures online. Any assistance in identifying the bird the feather belongs to is greatly appreciated.

Definitely not zone tailed hawk, as there , for example, the last dark band would be clearly broader than the others ...

I am getting the impression this could be an Accipiter tail feather (so either Coopers or sharp-shinned?)

I'm also thinking hawk tail feather, cooper's is a good match (might be a little big for sharpie?)

We don´t know how big the poster is... If my cousin (she is 155cm , small hands) , and I (192cm, large hands) would hold the same feather , it would look quite different

Maybe Accipiter tail feather. Now I think so.

You determine the color of the fur, the shape and size of the fur is also very important.
