Observation details
Quick Look as I spooked it about 100 ft away. Smaller buteo with short tail (compared to other expected non red-tail raptors in the area). Flew up into the light in front of me showing a rusty reddish underside and much lighter, non-rusty wing feathers. I heard one here fairly frequently in the fall. Perhaps same bird stuck around. A few minutes later I spotted it out in the open and captured the pic attached.
