Looks to be a female Sharpy, but probably this is trick question.:roll:

[Falconry Equipment International]

either that or a spar... musket?

[Roel_Birds]

Definately no spar. Spars have barred brests.

[Pete J.]

And it doesn't look quite big enough or heavy enough in the tarsi to be a immature Bicolored either. Still guessing it's a female Sharp-shinned.

[Alf]

Thought at first male coops but the legs and feet aren’t right.
Very thin legs in relation to its body size, I reckon it’s a male what ever it is! Alf.

[MusketMad]

female sharp shin ....they are quite common in mexico so ive been told

[MusketMad]

:lol:ha ha ha the more i look at it the more it looks like a male coops:lol:
what does it weigh ...when you tell us the weight ill make my mind up

[MusketMad]

:lol:ha ha ha the more i look at it the more it looks like a male coops:lol:
what does it weigh ...when you tell us the weight ill make my mind upfemale sharpys fly at anything between 150g to 175g my old male coops flew at 287g

[Pete J.]

Hmm, but he said "flying him" so if it is a male then it's too big for a shin. The tarsi definitely look like a shin, but if so it's a female as it looks too big on the glove to be a tiercel (musket).

[CanadaManada]

male bicolor hawk?

[Pete J.]

male bicolor hawk?
That's what I thought at one point but their tarsi are much sturdier...it should look much like a Cooper's if it were a Bicolor. I agree that the weight of it will determine what it is.

[GoshawkRST]

Fem. Sharpy :)

[MusketMad]

is a peniguinHE HE HE

[Pete J.]

HE HE HE
Band-tailed pigeon!:supz:

[OutHawkn]

Sharp shin.
But before you tell us what it is, post a picture of the top side of the tail feathers?

[Pete J.]

I looked at some pics I have of immature Bicolors and I'm ruling that out. So that pretty much makes HER a shin.

[Wingless]

I bet he never comes back to put you all out of your misery :twisted:

[Tacatanach]

I bet he never comes back to put you all out of your misery :twisted:

Well he hasnt logged in since yesterday at 0208 (who said im not an IFF stalker:lol:), but he hasnt checked this thread since an hr or so after he created it. Not posting the answer would be a clever way to drive people crazy...

Maybe its one of the species/subspecies of sharpy depending on what school of taxonomic thought you subscribe to- how bout a White-breasted Hawk
Accipiter chionogaster

[isaac_rodriguez]

Sorry for making you all waiting so long.....

Accipiter striatus (male). he is only 96gr.

[Pete J.]

Well we got the species right. If we'd have had the weight we'd have had no trouble at all!:lol:

[Alf]

He looked a lot bigger in the photo than my estimate of male sharps. Alf. .

[Pete J.]

Agreed...he must have had a fish-eye lens or did the old fish story trick by putting the bird up really close to the lens!:roll:

[PrinceOfTheWesternDesert]

just in relation to the glove, it looks like a coops,,, so i am surprised ,,
hey isaac,, de cual parte de mexico escribes?

[TiercelR]

- Hello Isaac, it is a nice musket sharpie which you have !! saludos desde Atizapán, Mexico !! Roberto.

[MusketMad]

just in relation to the glove, it looks like a coops,,, so i am surprised ,,
hey isaac,, de cual parte de mexico escribes?thats what i thought male coops after changing my mind from female sharpy ...it looks too big for a male ...cameras eh!

[TiercelR]

thats what i thought male coops after changing my mind from female sharpy ...it looks too big for a male ...cameras eh!

- Hello, the size of the ocular-globulars is proportionatelly more biggest in the raptors head than the ocular-globular size of the Coopers hawk. Also the tarsi is more slender-thinniest in the Sharpie than in the Cooper, and these details are some visibles in the two loaded pictures. Best regards. Roberto.
