I hope that the wikipedia.org articles pertaining to this hawk are update to include Trinidad as being part of the range/distribution of this race of hawk

Great site! Been living in San Fernando and was wondering what this hawk was that we have seen 7-10 times! I have also seen it (once) in Couva outside UTT. Really hard to mistake it for anything else with the white crescent bands in the underwing…

It would really depend on how old the birds are. If they were still confined to the nest it might be difficult as young birds may not have any distinguishing features. Crane hawks have long legs so that might be a good place to start. Older birds have white streaking. It would really help if you can send me a picture.
