Merlin was correct in IDing it as a Gray Hawk. The Gray Hawk is, as it's name suggests, shades of gray whereas the Red-shouldered has a lot of reddish not just on the shoulders but also on the breast. The Red-shouldered also has a lot of pale spotting on the wings and back. Love the speed trap comment. Good capture.
I appreciate your feedback and comments.
Have a great day.
