	Action: changed name from "Buteo lineatus" to "Buteo jamaicensis "
	Reviewer's comments:
	"Although the familiar Red-tailed Hawk patagials are hard to pick out against the blotchy underwing coverts, this is a juvenile Redtail. The tail pattern includes thinner bands of less contrast than the Red-shouldered. Also, the wing pattern is not as darkened as the Shoulders'. A great shot nonetheless. Thanks for the chance to see it and comment."
