Check your field guide for Swainson's Hawk. I would be interested as to where
you took the photo. It's a common resident in west Texas and the
Panhandle south to Hidalgo and Starr counties, per information from the
Checklist of the birds of Texas, third edition. Nice pictures of a neat raptor.

Texbirders:
Please help me identify this raptor. My husband Joe and I saw it and were
calling it an osprey because of the habitat in which we found it and its nest.
But I began to notice that it didn't look that much like an osprey. But it
didn't look like any of the photos and illustrations in our field guides either.
Thanks,
