Hawk id needed

Think it's an immature hawk. I am lucky to see a hawk once a year, so not sure what species this is.

Looks like a red shouldered hawk. Not 100% though because they strongly resemble red tailed hawks.

Immature red-tail. Lots of banding on chest and tail will go away with age.

Yup yup. +1

Without seeing it in flight you can't know the species but you can narrow it down to the two mentioned above from that picture and your locality.

Immature red-tail no doubt. If it was a red-shouldered you'd know it, if they're flying than they're always boasting that signature "keeee-aahhh" call over and over again.

Both are in my area, but red tailed hawks seem to be more abundant.

Its probably a RTH.
