Help with a raptor

I saw this bird today at the Raritan Bay, on the Jersey Shore. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Unless you're incredibly lucky, if you're looking at an eagle and it has a white belly, it's a Bald.

Unless you're incredibly lucky, if you're looking at an eagle and it has more-or-less extensive white in the wing linings, it's a Bald.

Unless you're incredibly lucky, if you're looking at an eagle and it has a head and neck creating nearly as much projection in front of the wings as the tail does behind the wings, it's a Bald.
