White Red-tailed Hawk

This beautiful bird was first reported as a possible white morph Gyrfalcon or albino Red-tailed Hawk. Good views of the bird show it is not an albino but is a beautiful, mostly white hawk. Any comments, other ideas on id, or questions are welcome. These photos were taken east of Meeker on the South Fork of the White River in Rio Blanco County. I will add more photos of this hawk as I get time. Thanks for looking.
