No problem! The immatures tend to not have the red tail yet. You can tell it is an immature by the light colored iris. A good indicator you have a red-tail here is the belly band though, none of the other species have it. That being said, not all red-tails have it either!

Thanks Ashley for the correct identification, the lack of red tail threw me off.
