Observation details

Imm. Aidan has poor photos. Small, compact buteo closer approximating a latge cooper’s in size than a red-tail. Structurally, the bird had short, broad wings, short tail and proportionately amallish head for a buteo (similar to rsha). The underparts were pale below including entirely pale underwings bordered by a thing dark gray/blackish line. The tail seemed to have a single obvious band thru part but i was never able to get a good look. The back was even unbroken chocolate brown, with no pale crescent on the base of primaries as on rsha. The underparts were primarily white, with some dark markings towards the chest/breast but I was unable to tell if they were streaks or bars. The bird flushed 3-4 times and was visible for 10-15 seconds each time in flight.
