Im not gonna give too many details because I want your opinion from the picture only. It was killed in Louisiana which has Easterns but it looks like a Texas Rio now that its been pointed out to me.

Just a little different color phase of an Eastern.

Look how dark the secondaries are, not to mention the black tips in most of the secondaries as well.  Just a bit lighter than some, like a blond date over a brunette.

One of my personal current interests is nest predators and how a majority of hunters, where legal bait to the extent of chumming coons.  However once they get the predators concentrated they don't control them.

I believe Jakes have a tendency to have lighter color tails. Not all do but some do.

But anyway always wanting to learn more so i can continue to get better and keep on trucking on my new favorite hunting season.
