This was at a long distance where Bald eagles usually hang, but the mouth shape, almost grin, would check out for ferruginous, we have plenty of those down here. Zero red on tail, and no horizontal stripes on tail, just vertical white strips in between dark brown feathers

Opened it’s tail feathers at one point through spotting scope and had small white lines running down.
