Observation details
I lightened the shadows in photo to show the banding in the tail. Kite flew over tree line as I passed then soared overhead. Pearly gray coloring seemed like the Mississipi kite, but it's so rare here I didn't think it could be correct. Size close to a Cooper's hawk, definitely smaller than a red-tailed.
