I think that each subspecies can have dark and light morph individuals,
with quite a bit of variation among all plumages.
Check out the article at aba.org by Jerry Liguori and Brian Sullivan,
"Comparison of Harlan's with Western and Eastern Red-tailed Hawks." I
haven't read it, just now googled it, so I don't know if it will be helpful.
