Hi Wayne, yep it's a Red Tail juvenile. There are several distinguishing markers to look for on the Red Tail juvenile. The first and most distinctive is the black patagium or shoulder area, and they also have a fully black outline to the primary wing tips. Another good marker when viewed from the back when they are sitting is a white stripe on each side creating a 'v' when seen from the back. Also distinctive is the white chest and dark belly band.
