What is this bird (orange fan tail, kind of rounded wings, the border of wings is darker, brownish?

Question

stands hawkishly?

I live in bay area, cali, and I just thought it might not be a red tailed hawk because it's tail isn't red. it's also a bit smaller and makes one of those sounds you know you hear in movies before, like a whistle, 2 main notes, second one lower in pitch

and what are some birds that look like robins but aren't?

Answer 1

red tail hawk

Their tail isn't red but a rusty orange color and they also have the dark border on their wings as well

Also, red tails have another  distinctive mark, a dark band across their chest

birds that look like robins, try a varied thrush, image:
