Barbara

   Accipiters have big white spots on the bases of some of the larger
scapular feathers on the upperparts. Usually these are hidden, but when the
bird lets the scapulars hang more loosely, the spots are obvious. They occur
on juveniles and adults, but the spots are larger and more easily seen on
the juveniles. 

Cheers
