This hawk landed on DH's truck and stayed for about 10 minutes. Long enough for me to get a few pictures. Is it a juvenile Red-tailed Hawk?

Hopefully someone better at ID will reply. It doesn't look like a Red-tailed to me, I am seeing a barred tail and long legs.

Looks like Red-shouldered Hawk to me, but I am no expert.

Thanks everyone. I can hear it now flying through the woods calling! Closing this thread.
