Shouldn't it be Buteo jamaicensis × lagopus? |

I agree this should be Buteo jamaicensis × lagopus. I believe the only way to change this is via a taxon swap. I've created the new taxon with the correct name (https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/1455250-Buteo-jamaicensis---lagopus) and drafted the taxon swap (https://www.inaturalist.org/taxon_changes/123780).
@loarie @thomaseverest @birdwhisperer please let me know if all looks ok and I can commit. There are only 8 observations of the taxon.
I've gone ahead and committed the swap for consistency with (nearly) all other intrageneric bird hybrids on iNat
Mentioned here but giving it its own flag.
