My birding group has said red-shouldered hawk, broad-winged hawk, and possibly a hybrid. I was curious what this group will say. These two were soaring around the suburbs together, and occasionally the one that looks like a juvenile would “buzz” the other. There is a nearby greenbelt and creek. The first photo of each pair is unedited except for cropping. The second photo has been brightened. I have other pics if needed, but they are all of the birds soaring.

This was hanging around brown-headed cowbirds, red-winged blackbirds, and yellow-headed blackbirds, but for a female BH cowbird, its facial markings are very strong. It had no yellow on the front for a female YH blackbird. And it wasn’t streaked like a female-RW blackbird. Any ideas?
