Hola, Looking at his page....the Buzzard is red to a much lesser extent. Good observation, though -- it makes sense that H's would still show at least some hematite presence, if that is was causes the red coloration.
The first link in my last email goes against what you say above. Note that the pictured stone has a black, frothy rear and a reddish shield-shaped front.
