Not really sure on this one either. My immediate thought was robin but it has really long legs. The beak is yellow and long like a robin though so that’s what I’m putting. Hit the N window on the W side of Armstrong

Dark form red tail. When I was a kid this would have been a Harlan’s hawk but I guess not a recognized species anymore. This photo is very blurry - was from my phone - but the Hawk is facing the camera clearly showing a very dark breast

In the field our group passed this off as a Rough-legged hawk. Indeed, the overall the impression of the bird is that of a Rough-legged Hawk, with some notable deviations that mark this bird as a hybrid. Many of the features resemble a typical Rough-legged (small bill, thick dark belly band, dark carpal patches, extensive white at the base of the tail), while the evenly spaced dark tail bands are reminiscent of a Red-tailed Hawk. The tail is also quite long, going past the primary extension. This overall mix of traits of both Rough-legged and Red-tailed Hawks has lead me to the conclusion that this bird is a hybrid.

Confirmed by Nick Kiehl, Jerry Liguori, Neil Paprocki, and others.
