Another very pale Red-tailed from Texas. Kind of coincidental.

Agree with Fyn on this being a Red-tailed. The belly band is very faint, but still present. Again, there's no dark on the chest, so it's not a likely candidate for Swainson's.

Not much of a belly band for a red tail, and the head just doesn't seem "redtail-ish"... seems a bit "dainty" . Tough to call.....
