CLOSED: Confirm that this is a red-tail Hawk

Columbus, GA(Zone 8a)

I'm pretty sure I have captured a Red-tailed Hack over my feeders. Am I correct?

It never "fed", at least, not while I was birding with my 40D..

The red tail kind of gives him away. Nice shot, Hack.

gardenpom, that's what I figured, but am just not up on my hawk ID's.

Thanks, for the 2nd, Resin.

Me either. The Red-tailed and Red-shouldered are about as far as I can guess.

The streaked belly-dark band is also the mark of the red-tailed hawk. Other marks are the pale breast, dark mark on the leading edge of the wings, and the dark head.
