"Dark form" Red-tailed Hawk

This is the "Dark form" of the Red-tailed hawk (Buteo jamaicensis), a color pattern more common in the western United States. This color form has a reddish-brown breast with a darker "belly band", as opposed to the more common coloration of a white breast with reddish-brown streaks forming a prominent "belly band".
