==Description==
==Description==
The species of genus ''Buteogallus'' are medium-sized birds of prey, with a general buzzard-hawk appearance but with slightly-longer and thinner legs. Most species are dark grey to black in color - hence the name "black-hawk" - and bear a characteristic single white band on the tail feathers.
The species of genus ''Buteogallus'' are medium-sized birds of prey, with a general buzzard-hawk appearance but with slightly-longer and thinner legs. Most species are dark grey to black in color - hence the name "black-hawk" - and bear characteristic, short black tail feathers with a single white band in the center.

Placement of these species in taxonomic hierarchy is uncertain. In addition to ''Buteogallus'', the genera ''Harpyhaliaetus'' (solitary eagles) and ''Urubitinga'' (black hawks) were used until DNA testing in 2006 and 2009 indicated that ''Buteogallus'' is at least paraphyletic with respect to ''Harpyhaliaetus'' and certain ''Leucopternis''; the proposals for creating differing genera were left unresolved, and to date these birds are lumped into ''Buteogallus'' for the time being<ref>http://www.museum.lsu.edu/~Remsen/SACCprop459.htm</ref>.
