The key for a shot from the rear is the tail. The bands are too wide to be a Red Tail, but the tail and everything else is just right for a Broad Wing. It’s still a gamble because I can’t account for what any regional variations might be.

I have a shot very much like that one of a BW, except he’s in a tree, just got to find it.
