Beautiful Bird

I am hoping one of my fellow photographers can identify this handsome fellow for me.
We saw him a few years ago at the Scottish Games on Long Island.

Canon EOS 70D
1/400s f/7.1 at 200.0mm iso200 full exif

I agree on the Gyrfalcon. I'm not sure they have Scottish blood although that handsome plumage might be the plaid of some ancient clan.

Among the many options offered by Google Lens was "gyrfalcon". I Googled it and this seems to be one. I love the Google Lens app. I just pointed it at your image and clicked on the magnifying glass. So handy! (I see Walter Koenig, Pierre,and Carl agreed with that ID!
