The well-written report, very nice images, and confirmation by none other than raptor expert Bill Clark confirms this identification.

Good Photos and supplementary material by Cliff was convincing.

I agree that the bill is too small and the wings too pointed for a Harlin's. I respect Bill Clark's opinion, as well as Cliff's too.

Nice pics of bird in flight show diagnostic fieldmarks including the dark breast, white throat, unfeathered legs and underwing pattern.

No question of identity in my mind based on the excellent photos and Cliff's supporting "play-by-play". As for origin, I believe the chance this was one of the northern birds passing through is a good theory; very interesting record for Idaho.
