Urubitinga fragilis

Buteogallus fragilis, sometimes called the fragile eagle, is an extinct species of bird of prey that lived in North America during the Late Pleistocene. Remains of at least 83 individuals have been found in the La Brea Tar Pits in California, and the species has also been reported from Shelter Cave in New Mexico. It is similar in proportions to the common black hawk.
