It turns out that it is a Broad-winged Hawk Juvenile, that Robin Diaz says wintered in the park. Unfortunately, Paul Pugh had no other photos. Seeing the breast would definitely have added clarity to the possible rarity. I should have said possible Gray Hawk Juvenile. He did his homework before sending it to me and felt very confident, so I posted it for him. I have only seen an adult Gray Hawk in Tombstone, Arizona and have no experience with juveniles of this species. Broad-winged Hawk was much more probable.
