Re: Hawk
I think this is a juvenile red-tail hawk. Larger feet, speckled upper breast and I believe I see unfeathered legs. Color of beak is consistent, too.

Even though the top of the head is in shadow it looks like one to me with the bold line going from the eye to the back of the head and what appears to be a light colored head.
