Default Unidentified hawk

Peregrine Falcon, not a hawk.
Very common in Virginia.

I know I've got a pair of Red Shouldered Hawks in the neighborhood. I've
seen them in full daylight and even posted a pretty good shot of one here a
few months back.

This morning this hawk landed on my back fence in the gloom of early
morning and about all I really had was a silhouette, but somehow it does
not look quite right for an RSH.

Any thoughts?

Approximate length from top of head to tail is 17-1/2" to 19".
