Hey Joel, that has the signs of a usual adult dark or intermediate morph red-tailed, not a Harlan’s. The bright red tail, the warm brown hues, and the buffy wing marks wouldn’t be seen on a Harlan’s. Harlan’s are dark brown and white, but the brown lacks any warm colour, almost a black/very dark gray brown.
We have lots of dark morphs in Creston (maybe 1/3 of our winter hawks), which has taken some getting used to.

Darn, I was hoping it was a Harlan's. Thanks Paul!

 Saw this bird yesterday at Chilliwack Central and Annis. Looks similar to the one you saw in November, but we couldn't see the tail, so I was waffling on the ID. (Photo taken by a friend) |
