Hello Aura, it's a Red-tailed Hawk. Large, broad wings and I can see streaking across the belly. Both are indicators of a Red-tailed.

Thank you! It looked different to me than other red-tailed hawks here. Could it be a red-shouldered hawk?

Anytime! Take a look at your photo side by side w/ an immature Red-tailed Hawkpic.twitter.com/WbZwbVCKNI

Now take a look at your photo w/ my ID points marked off. All 3 of these are diagnostic for Red-tailed Hawk.pic.twitter.com/tdocBgZgwr

No prob, here's a closeup of the markings to look for whenever the trademark Reddish tail isn't visible.pic.twitter.com/opl0a5fZtt

I'm guessing Red shouldered, red tailed, or Cooper's Hawk

Im thinking red-shouldered. Hopefully I see it again today!

This one swooped down incredibly low. I hope it's going ok

I think it's a red tail. The dark bars on the leading edge of the underwings are a telltale sign.
