Observation details

Sorry the photos are so distant. Pretty sure this was a dark morph RTHA. At first we thought it was a golden eagle--it was awfully large--but when it flew we saw the underwing white and black was too precise for an eagle, and then were surprised to see a red tail which seemed too intense for the red in a ferruginous's tail. I'd be grateful for your opinion. I am surprised no one else reported it.
