Was about the size of a red tail hawk but was kinda blotchy colored with different shades of brown.

They're as big, or bigger than their parents when they leave the nest. It's hard to judge how big a hawk/eagle is until you're right up next to it though. I've seen hawks I thought were huge until I trapped them and then realized they were small males.
