Observation details
The bird was badly backlit against the overcast morning sky. It appeared very dark with a long tail and wide wings. I managed to get my camera before it was too far off, I was hoping it might be a Broad-winged Hawk but after looking at my photos and adjusting the light, I can see a light translucent crescent in the outer wing and the barring on the tail better matches RSHA rather than Broad-winged. The wings look "fatter" rather than straight and pointed.
