Hawk ID Badlands, South Dakota, USA (1 Viewer)

[Bear83]

Need some help nailing down ID on a raptor seen on 8/23 in Badlands National Park of South Dakota. Bird exhibited short lived hovering activity, but seemed to mostly soar/glide on thermals. Any help or input would be greatly appreciated.

Belly band + dark patagial bars = Red-tailed Hawk.

Redtail indeed, a juvenile with pale "windows" in the primaries and a banded brown tail.
