zbird Posted July 21 Author Share Posted July 21 All of them?! Wow, there was a lot of variation between these guys and the others I saw with super red tails. What are the diagnostic field markings? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bird Nuts Posted July 21 Share Posted July 21 Dark patagial bars and belly band. Juveniles lack the red tail and sometimes an adult's tail can look white from below in certain lighting. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
