red tailed or red shoulder

[birdgurl 6]

Can anyone tell what hawk this is by just the head? It looked like a red shoulder when it flew into the tree.

all I could get was a head shot?

Grants Pass Or.

Thanks

I'd go Red-tailed here.  Note the white markings on the scapulars, it makes a "V" when seen from behind.

Thanks,

I think your right. I think for a minute I saw the band around the middle

Yes Red-tailed here.

The eye is paler than that typically shown by juvenile Red-shouldered and the bird in question does not sport the typical strong barring on the secondaries of Red-shouldered.
