Thanks everyone for your help!

Upon further examination (these guys have been in my backyard screaming up
a storm for the past 4 days now!) I think it is probably a red-shouldered,
especially after listening to recordings of their cries.  I got another
picture that shows the front of the bird a bit better, as well.

On a side note, I saw an osprey hunting in the ponds of Bryan Park
yesterday, which I thought was a bit odd!

Again, thanks!
