The '''broad-winged hawk''' (''Buteo platypterus'') is a species of [[bird of prey]] of the family Accipitridae,
==Description==
The broad-winged hawk is a medium-sized raptor, with a body length of 13 to 17 inches, a wingspan of 29 to 39 inches, and weigh 9.3 to 19.8 ounces. Females are slightly larger than males. Adult birds are dark brown above, with a white chest and belly barred horizontally in reddish brown; light morphs show more white on the underside. The wings are whitish underneath, lightly-barred, with the ends of the primaries and secondaries dark in color, giving the wings a single wide outline when seen in flight; the wings also end in a taper, the only buteonine hawk to have this distinction. The tail is marked with alternating dark grey-black and white bands. Juvenile birds are similar to adults, with a whiter chest and belly marked with vertical barring. A rare, dark color morph (the bird is dark brown throughout) is found in western North America, found in one in 1,000 individuals<ref>https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Broad-winged_Hawk/id</ref>.
