Harris's Hawk

Harris's is a dark brown hawk with white tail-coverts and white at the base of the tail. The upper wing-coverts, wing lining, and flanks are rusty or chestnut colored. Its bill is light blue with a black tip. As with other raptors, females are larger than males. Juveniles are similar to adults but have a less rufous coloring, buffy spots on the belly, white under the wing, and lots of dusky barring on the tail.
