Identify my raptor

I found a pair of these beauties in my back yard this morning. I was startled and wasn't able to get a good shot before they took off. Is it a Red Tail Hawk?

He didn't mind looking at me but he wouldn't show his face. In hindsight, I should have fired off more shots to increase my chances.

Looks like a Juvi Red tail to me.. Hard to tell from the angle though

Thanks for the reply! I followed them for a few minutes but never could get a better look at them. The patience required from you and other top-notch bird photographers is very impressive. I admire and respect your work a great deal!

I'd go with the Red Tailed Hawk too. Colouration and markings look very similar to me.
