[cobirds] RFI: Help with Red-Tailed Hawk ID

Hi all,

I was hoping that I could get some input on a Red-Tailed Hawk that I
photographed in northern-western Minnesota last May. I've posted
these photos on the MN equivalent of COBirds a few days ago and so
far haven't received any responses regarding the extent of white on
this individual . I hoping to determine if it is a Krider's Morph,
partially leucistic, an extremely pale Eastern Red-Tailed Hawk, or
something else. To be clear, the bird was photographed 30 miles
outside of Grand Forks, ND just inside the MN border on 5/2/12.

I know we have quite a few raptor enthusiasts here in Colorado and
hopefully some of you will want a break from analyzing photos of
immature gulls and potential Hoary Redpolls. Sorry for the low
picture quality. Shutterfly is not the best host. I posted both the
originals and some cropped and blown up versions.

Thanks for any input
