Editing Red-tailed hawk (section)

===Subspecies===
At least 14&nbsp;recognized subspecies of ''B.&nbsp;jamaicensis'' are described, which vary in range and in coloration. Not all authors accept every subspecies, though, particularly some of the insular races of the tropics (which differ only slightly in some cases from the nearest mainland forms) and particularly  Krider's hawk – by far the most controversial red-tailed hawk race, as few authors agree on its suitability as a full-fledged subspecies.<ref name= Palmer/><ref name= Preston/><ref name= Brown/>
