@Albatrossity@lor.sh that doesn’t look like a red tail? Not even a dark morph?
Who are they..

@pissed_eagle@birdbutt.com Red-tailed Hawks are highly variable; not all of the plumages are shown in the typical field guide. Here's a fun link with lots of pics https://arkansashawkingassociation.org/pdf/grintailsmod[1].pdf

@Albatrossity@lor.sh I know they’re variable but even the beak looks different! Interesting
