Hey Kurt, Hard to say as the markings you describe wouldn't add up for any typical raptor in the Americas that I'm familiar with let alone an expected FL species. E.g. light Short-tailed Hawks are always all light below and young Broad-wingeds can at times be unstreaked (however the latter would not likely be eating Iguana) that said NEITHER of these would really show a "light tail" You'd expect both to be brown on the top at least. I assume no images. Given the description, this could possibly be a dilute plumage or partially leucistic Red-tailed as well. But would be impossible to say without an image or more details on structure, etc.
