Observation details
Chris and Brad saw this hawk with cold tan/gray uppperside, mostly cream-colored underside (not heavily marked) fly out of the tree block. Thin white horizontal strip on the upper tail coverts observed. Not long afterwards, the hawk was relocated and flew directly away from us (Chris got a couple poor photos). Consensus between Curtis and Brad at the time was Red-tailed. To be on safe side, Chris listed as hawk sp. After photo review later, possibly Swainson's.
