Any idea who this may be? While I was walking by it flew into a tree. it was too heavy for the branches. Seemed scared. Seemed also to be a baby. Certainly not a garden variety downtown bird.

THE Q&A CAFE
The Q&A Cafe is now in its 21st year. We launched in October 2001 at Nathans in Georgetown as a response to the September 11 terror attacks, and from that initial purpose grew into a weekly community interview lunch, the first "talk show in a bar." When Nathans closed in 2009 we moved to the Ritz Carlton Hotel and since 2015 our home has been The George Town Club. Some 500 notable individuals, from all fields, have appeared for interviews, which are taped and air Fridays on DC Cable. All are welcomed to attend. For reservations: 202-333-9330.

I could be wrong, but I believe that these probably are photos of a juvenile Red-tailed Hawk.
The broad, heavy body and a shortish tail makes this a Buteo (Hawk) rather than an accipter or falcon. The dark leading wing edge (photo 2) is characteristic of the Red-tailed Hawk. Both the sparsely feathered face and awkward body postures lead me to think that this bird has recently fledged.
