Not a broad wing or a short tail, much too large. I drove up on it without seeing it, until it stood up. Everything about it said redtail, except the pure white underparts, and I got a real good look at that. I found some pics on line today with super reduced banding, I'm pretty sure it was just a dilute redtail. Tail was buffy, no markings, but I had no angle to see it backlit. Very pretty bird.
