Aplomado Falcon
Falco femoralis septentrionalis

This slender, long-tailed falcon is 15 to18 inches in length, has a 3 foot wingspan, and has a plumage that is very distinct in pattern and coloration. The aplomado falcon's underparts are much darker in color (blackish) than all other falcons found in the United States. The tail is banded with white and black (or gray) stripes. A distinctive white line is located below the black cap on its head.
