help me out here guys,
I saw this little fella when I was in Guatemala last year, and I am not sure what is is?

He was not even shy, the picture is taken about 25feet away from where he was sitting.

what do you guys think?

cheers,
Rasmus

is that a biocooured hawk? or a brown goshawk? just a guess, not good with me hawks lol! wait till an expert has a nosey lol!

[IAmTheWeasel]

Hmmm. I'll say a Bicolored hawk....does look a bit darker that a normal one though.

[Raseni]

could it perhaps be an Roadside Hawk (Buteo magnirostris)???

cheers,
Rasmus

Hi Rasmus,

You might be right! :-D

It looks quite similar to several images of Roadside Hawks that I have looked at on different Bird of Prey websites.
