Observation details
Poor photos. Bird was seen soaring over the grassy field and pausing to hover and hunt briefly, before a harassing red tail convinced it to continue North. I'm presuming this was a dark morph first year, as the plumage was quite messy, but light undertail coverts visible. Long tapered wings ruled out red tail and rough leg, which was my first thought upon seeing the hovering. Darker primaries and secondaries and longer tail rule out ferruginous.
