It is found in most habitats with the exception of the interior of dense forest. It is a fairly small hawk with a longish tail and shortish wings. Its breast and lower underparts are barred brown and white and its tail has 4 or 5 grey bars. It has yellow eyes and cere although there is some variation. In flight it shows rufous patches on the wings. It has a varied diet including insects, reptiles and small mammals. There are recordings and a distribution map on xeno-canto . This very rufous bird in photo 4 is the sub-species B. m. nattereri while the bird in photo 9 taken at Tikal, Guatemala is assumed to be the sub-species R. m. conspectus .
