Red-tailed hawk

Wonderful spotting! As you've been provided an ID and 3 other people agree, please update so this beauty is removed from the unidentified list. Thank you.

Silly juvi Red-Tail...you are too cute! Nice shot! Beautiful dark coloring!

I heard in La Jolla there is a pair of intermediate morphs that breed in the Eucalyptus trees.

Looks like Swainson's hawk, but you need a hawk expert to confirm it.
