Description. This material represents the smaller species of Buteo in the deposit.

Comments. The Broad-winged Hawk was identified and recorded for Las Breas de San Felipe by Suárez & Olson (2003b:73), based on the material discussed here. Reported by Suárez & Arredondo (1997) from cave deposits in western Cuba. Buteo platypterus Vieillot,1823 , is today a common resident in Cuba, and represents an endemic subspecies, B. p. cubanensis Burns, 1911, which lives in forests and pine forests ( Garrido & García Montaña 1975; Garrido & Kirkconnell 2011). Individuals of the nominative subspecies are rare, some of them remaining on the island during the winter ( Garrido & Kirkconnell 2011:79).
