The mangrove black hawk (Buteogallus anthracinus subtilis) is a neotropical bird of prey in the family Accipitridae native to South and Central America. Briefly treated as a distinct species, Buteogallus subtilis,[1] recent evidence strongly suggests it should be considered a subspecies of the common black hawk (Buteogallus anthracinus). [2]
