[texbirds] Hawk ID?

Hi all,

This hawk was circling overhead in nw Houston May 9, 2020. I want to default
to Red-shouldered, but it looks like an immature in heavy primary molt. Is it a
one-year-old Red-shouldered? Too early for a hatch-year? Dark Swainson's
crossed my mind, but the underwing pattern doesn't fit.

Thanks for any help.
