Peale's is from Siberia & NW Coastal Alaska down to about Vancouver Is. I
meant to say
This is said to be the largest Peregrine race and I now believe the gray
back is OK.

Nice photos for so distant. I'd say it was Peale's race of the peregrine
from northern, coastal Alaska,
although the very gray back seems unusual. Falconers do hyrbidize the two
I believe.

I liked the stocky body on this bird for Gyr.

But you will see in the third photograph which I just turned up the
exposure on, the underside of the flight feathers and dark mustache make me
think it might be a Peregrine.

I do not have any shots of the underside of the tail.
