Question Raptor ID?

This is another one of those glimpses-seen-while-driving, unfortunately.

When the bird was head on to me, it was gliding with the wings in a shallow downward curve, with its body at the top.

As it passed overhead, I saw the wing ends were rounded, not pointed. The tail was not fanned out at all, so was seen to be rectangular shaped and square ended.

I am used to seeing buzzards all over the place but this one didn't seem to fit the pattern. Any ideas?

regards,
S
