datafoya2314Description
At first I thought Harris’s Hawk, but seems to be lacking a few things that HAHA would have such as rufous shoulder on the top side of wing and white tipped tail

Accidentally discovered this active nest alongside an access road. The adults wouldn't go near the nest if I was too close. I photographed them a couple of times , waited until they accessed the cavity than quickly moved to where I could shoot with a 600 mm lens. This time managed to catch it with a fecal sac!!

Found and identified by Javi Gonzalez.
I was not in the tour group, just lucky to be standing nearby with a bag of cut oranges, which I dropped like a hot rock to shoot this bird! :D
I have looked at the various possibilities, and I feel I will go to my grave without being able to call one from another. However, I am looking forward to any comments or ID suggestions!

Merlin ID'd the sound as Red-bellied, but the yellow belly makes me think Golden-fronted. Please help.
