CW: a hawk in flight holding small prey in one foot

My first post. I saw this hawk in our office complex this morning. There is a small grove of woods nearby and think it might roost there.

Not sure but I think this is a brown hawk. It was really big.

Really wishing I had a better camera on my phone.

@WrenArcher My best guess is a Red-Tailed Hawk. Better photos than I took back when I had a film Camera. Great shots! Thanks for sharing!

@GreenRoc
Thanks for the kind words about the photos. I was surprised at how close it let me get.

Here are a couple of others. Maybe you can tell from these if it is a red tail or brown ?

You can see its belly and underneath its wings really well in one. And the top of its wings and tail feathers all spread out in the other.

@WrenArcher I've never heard of a Brown hawk before. I'm looking up photos of Hawks and your photos closely resemble a light morph Red Tailed, I cant be 100% sure, I'm no expert, just a bird lover.
I had a look at this link showing the Red Tailed hawk
