Hawk - Need ID Please

[Bob Blanchard]

Posting this fellow as much for ID as critique. I think it may be a Broad Wing, but not sure. Captured Sunday near the Lighthouse on Sanibel:

Canon 1DsMII, 600mm F/4, 1/400, f/8, ISO 100

Your lovely image of a red-shouldered hawk shows a lot of detail in the feathers and nice eye highlight. You might try to lighten up the shadow on his left side with a little s/h in whatever photoshop you use or trying a little dodging in just that one area.

Hey, Bob! Nice work on this one. Your subject looks like a Red Shouldered but has some things that make me question that ID. Very nice detail and lighting. I agree with lightening the dark shadow a bit. I'd also like a little more room at the top, and to balance that adjustment, an equal amount added to the left side.
