Housemate spotted this beauty sitting on the swingset in the backyard.

Hey Altair or anyone else who knows birds - I think it's a juvenile redtail, maybe? Spouseperson suggested a broad-winged but I think there's too much white on the breast?

I'm leaning toward red-tail but I'm not positive. Definitely a magnificent backyard visitor!

Gorgeous bird! I think it could be a juvenile redtail hawk - possibly the borealis version? See here: https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Red-tailed_Hawk/id

I looked at a Broadwinged Hawk and it doesn't match, especially the coloring on the head.

Altair may know better though.
