Mystery Hawk

Michelle spotted this raptor over Fort Jefferson in the Dry Tortugas on June 28, 2006.  We managed a minute of so of long-distance video before we lost it.  Here are some video captures from the film.  The bird had some very interesting markings but they unlike anything I've seen on hawk watches here in Virginia.  Anyone have some insight on the ID or markings found on the bird?  Thanks.
