Juvenile Red-tailed Hawk (Buteo jamaicensis)

Juvenile Red-tailed Hawks have brown streaks on their chests, a somewhat mottled appearance, and lack the characteristic red tail that adults have. They also have a pale belly with streaking that often forms a "belly band" pattern, which is a common field mark.
