Young adult Crested Caracara photographed at the Laguna Seca Ranch in deep South Texas 13 October 2020.  The way you know that it is a young adult is because the wing feathers are not completely black.

1/1600 sec
f/5.6
ISO 500

The large version looks a little better.

Lovely! Such a nice soft pastel color palette to set off the bird.

A must click on this one to see the exquisite detail in the plumage - thanks for the info on the plumage colour and age. The pose and layered background complete a wonderful image, Gene! Superb shot.
