[Maine-birds] mystery raptor

I have a beginner question: just finished a snowshoe across the Grover airfield in N. Yarmouth and scared up a fairly large raptor (hawk sized) but of course forgot to bring my binocs. Didn't get a look a the head as it was flying away, but it had a distinctive flap flap glide beat pattern, light underneath, darkish (grey?) above. Is the wing beat any help in ID'ing a good sized raptor?
