The Kestrel was my gf's initial guess. But the beak of the Kestrel doesn't appear to be the same. - Krusty Apr 13, 09:28 9

      - it just stopped raining when I took my pic, but the beak shape and color look good as do the reddish brown back and legs. also the 2 black stripes - CQ: In Suspension Apr 13, 09:36
