Observation details

Dark leading edge of wing from shoulder to wrist and red tail, both characteristics of red-tailed hawk. Dark wrists, dark belly and dark tail band, all characteristic of rough-legged hawk. Other characteristics appeared to be a mix between the two species. Found at the same location I had photographed a hybrid December 2020, possibly the same bird?
