Hi Chuck,
Nice photo capture! Supporting characters to the ones you've mentioned are
the prominent white forehead and the wrist patches (very easily seen on
light morph, of course) but still detectable and which appear as kind of
"blobs" on the end of the indented dark wing linings. good birding, Tom

I found a nice dark phase Rough-legged Hawk in Crook County today. I
based the ID on a white tail with dark band at the end of the tail and legs
that are fully feathered.
