"Dark form" Red-tailed Hawk over Aspen Park

I saw this hawk flying yesterday over Aspen Park, Colorado. While I watched, it went from about 50 feet off the ground to so high it nearly disappeared. I would guess it was several hundred feet up in the air. I'm not clear what type of hawk it is. I think it's an Accipiter.

Update: H3ll no, it wasn't an Accipiter. It's the "Dark form" of the Red-tailed hawk (Buteo jamaicensis).
