Juvenile Eagle?

Can anyone ID this? I thought it was a very large hawk at first as they are everywhere in my area but this is too big? I thought maybe I was lucky and it was a Golden Eagle, but I understand that they are booted eagles(feathers all the way to the toes) and this one does not look like it has that, so juvenile bald maybe?

one more so you can see the feathers underneath. Such a beautiful creature:)

I THINK it is a second year bald but that is a guess

That's what I'm thinking now also after I have looked into it more, it is definitely not booted so it is not a golden.
