I would say so. Get a permit for it and put it on your wall.

Yep, sure is> I used to raise them. This is an adult. Immature birds lack the red tails.

Red-tails can have a really wide variation in colour morphs. Maybe the F&W guy was looking for the more "classic" looking version. Some of them can be pretty dark in the body/chest.
Should have asked what they thought it was.

Looks like a redtail to me. I found one once, on the big hill... for the life of me can't imagine why I didn't keep it. I'm with James M.... never seen one since that was salvagable.
