Hawks can be hard to be certain about but I vote red tail hawk as well.

This IS a peregrine falcon (according to its handler) - https://pathfinder.smugmug.com/Landscapes/Shooting-with-Brendan-Earthday/i-TjLW4fH/1/X2/Peregrine%20falcon%20on%20hand%20%232-0777-X2.jpg

This is a link https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Peregrine_Falcon/idto info about Peregrine Falcons, the link above shows a Harris Hawk, not a Peregrine.
