Looks like an adult roughie.

First winter Rough-legged Hawk. The i.d. is all in the face.

Dark Morph Rough-Legged Hawk, white forehead and tail pattern.

I'd guess a Rough-legged Hawk because of head shape, tale pattern and primary length, but the colors seem all wrong, so I'm probably wrong.

Hello Khanh,
I believe this a Female, Dark Morph, Rough-legged Hawk (OK, as hedges, it could be an an Intermediate morph variation or an older, Dark male juvenile, given the darker tail and head present and possible darker dorsal feathers in its future or , but I believe not). Wing tips are long enough for RLH, so probably eliminates Harlan's Hawk. Of course it would be very helpful if we could see the underwing patterns.
Thanks for continuing posts and photos of your adventures, Khanh. They are always entertaining and educational.

Because the wingtips seems to reach the tail tip, I guess rough-legged.

Could be a Rough-legged Hawk, but it looks more like a juvenile Harlan's to me...

Evan and I think Rough-legged.

Looks like a juvenile Red Tail, but that is probably too obvious.
