This is the 2nd Harlan's Hawk I photographed Sunday near Rocky Ford, Colorado. It is an intermediate morph with white on it's forehead (overlapping supercilium) and throat, white streaking on it's 'hindneck', dark crown, white streaks on breast and some white speckling on belly.
The wings just shorter than tail when perched upright as shown in middle pic. The bottom pic is interesting as it shows a lot of white feathers that, similar to the apparent dark morph in the previous post, appear to be 'underfeathers' that are visible when the wind blows the top feathers up. I still haven't found any documentation on that. SeEtta
