[Maine-birds] Another ask for ID - a hawk this winter

This hawk was hanging around for a while, we have a nice tree down at the end of a hedgerow, close to the marsh.  Wonderful vantage point for red tail hawks and we usually have one several times a week thru the winter.   This one I noticed an immediate difference because the breast was so white.  I first saw it from the back (first photo) and that prominent white was down the side.  Then it resettled on another branch and I got the front.   Was surprised not seeing any barring.  So is this an immature red tail or something else?

Thanks again, Nancy
