[cobirds] Hawk ID: Light Morph or Krider's, Douglas County?

Good morning!

This hawk has been hanging around my work office for over a year, and I was finally able to snap a decent picture of it (despite being when the sun was setting). 

 It has a more pink-hued colored tail, but still has the dark propatagium visible in flight. It looks like a Red-tailed Hawk to me, but would this be considered a light morph or other variation?
