Tom McIntyre sent this photo his friend Keith Benoist snapped in Mississippi last weekend. Suggestions include Swainson's and broadwing which I doubt-- slighter and migratory-- and Harlan's which is possible though ours tend to be more "speckly". I call darkish (for the east) redtail. What say you?

Looks more like a Redtail than anything else to me.
Yep, I'm with Steve and John, redtail. Been studying up on these buggers lately too.
Yes, juvenile Red-tailed Hawk.
Redtail, without any doubt in my mind. Doesn't even strike me as all that unusual...
looks like your typical passage redtail to me
I agree. Definitely a juvenile red-tail.
I think Redtail, too.
Easier to identify than this one - an Albino Redtail.
