Caracara cheriway
An largish raptor with distinct white next and wing patches, black body and bright orange face, and long legs (for a raptor). When flyling (no photo, alas) it had clearly visible which patches on wings.
Seen an open area with clumps of trees, near ponds.
Its also called "crested caracara" .. not sure which is more current.
