What bird is this?

@pokypinkdog
According to Wikipedia vagrants are only occasionally spotted in Texas, so we suspect yours might be a relative. Possibly the Broad-winged? 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broad-winged_hawk?wprov=sfla1@mybirdcards yes that looks more like it 🤎

@mybirdcards actually I think they are probably Red Tailed or Coopers Hawks after reading the description
@pokypinkdog Yes, that's probably more likely as these are both considered common birds of prey throughout the US

Last guess ... Roadside hawk? Only I thought they were considered smallish birds of prey.
I give up after that

Thanks, Lorraine. Spot on! We've updated the file to read "A relatively small bird of prey.." This brings it in agreement with its Wiki description. Something we usually check before posting ️🦜 -

It's not in genus Accipiter, but does belong to the family Accipitridae. More precisely, it belongs to the subfamily Buteoninae
