COBirders,

Well, this thread is ended. While the belly-band isn’t really a classic Red-tail BAND per se it’s within the range, I guess, so I’ll have to concede this youngster is indeed what others have determined. I wonder if the young bird in question could be a recent fledgling.

Several years ago a local Pueblo birding couple coined the term PART-hawk (Probably A Red Tail) for a buteo of dubious identification. My wife and I use a spin-off of that: DART-hawk (Definitely A Red Tail), which is what applies here, which makes me a Red-faced Human.
