<div dir="ltr">I'm not good at raptor IDs, and I'm really
puzzled by a pair of hawks that briefly visited our
neighborhood this morning (Golden Valley, just north of
Wirth Park). Unfortunately, I did not have my binocs. They
were buteos, and the larger one was about the size of a
Red-Tailed, but absolutely no red in the tail feathers. I
had a pretty clear though brief view of the underside.
Sorry I can't provide all the details, but it was some
pattern of black and white, but not mottled like immature
Bald Eagles. The most remarkable feature was a very clear,
fairly wide band, solid and very dark, maybe somewhat rusty,
that I would call a collar, at the top of the neck/start of
the breast. It was clearly bordered by white on both
sides.

<div>I don't see anything in Sibley that looks like this.
Any ideas? Again, sorry for the lack of some details. </div>
