Looks like it has a mask and it appears to be too big for a kite

Osprey have that zoro mask thing going on around their eyes and behind

Mississippi Kites have more grey color to their wings, but do have pronounced eyes... but they're usually smaller

But this bird is blurry like bigfoot... so I'm leaning in that direction

Definitely a Mississippi kite.

Wings are greyer than an ospreys, the "mask" is a character of kites as well, and there is no obvious silhouette of a beak reminiscent of a bird that catches fish for a living. Also, the wings are more pointed, like a kite.

If it were an osprey, the wings would be browner, the "mask" would extend backwards along the neck and connect to the brown in the wings/back, and the beak would be much more prominent on the face.
