CLOSED: Hawk ID Please

Manzanita, OR(Zone 8b)

Can someone tell me what species this hawk is? I think it may be a Red-tailed since I've seen several lately. Thanks!

Nice pic. Duc, pretty raptor.

Great ID shot of a Red-tailed Hawk.

In any plumage-dark, pale, adult, juvenile, "Kriders" etc., those dark areas on underside-leading edge of the wing will be there.

Those are called patagial marks by us Bird-Nerds...makes IDing these guys pretty easy.
