- Comments: "Continuing in this area at least since Sunday. Longer and a little slimmer looking than a Red-tailed, lots of streaking on upper chest but no belly band, longer tail than Red+tailed. While in flight wings looked pointier than Red-tailed and no patagials seen. Face had pattern including white eyebrow. Thanks to Adelia for letting me look through her scope."
