Extralimital - please delete if not interested in this identification question.
If anyone cares to help, please take a look at this photo of an immature
Accipiter we took at Loxahatchee NWR in Florida. Very ruffled, mussed feathers
bird. This is probably our best of several such photos.

Our only clue is Sibley's note about the chest streaks, "coarse brown" vs.
"thin, dark".
We would appreciate any help ID-ing this guy, and hope to learn what marks are
important or useful here. Thank you!!
