O.K. when I saw this through my viewfinder I thought it was going to be easy. Red on the shoulder, Red-Shouldered Hawk. Now I'm not sure. I am in S Texas so I'm tempted to say White-Tailed Hawk, but I'm just not able to decide. What do you think?

This is a tough one Chris.
I'm going to go with the White-tailed because of the tail color, the wing tip to tail length, and more grayish bill. They seem to have a very small area along the gulf coast in Texas so if that is what it turns up to be, nice catch!
