St. Joseph, Champaign County, IL
Bald Eagle, If I had to guess. Has the "large head" appearance (at least to me) that this site mentions.

Yours also has yellow skin on its ankles.

"If you can get a good look at their legs and feet while they are standing up, look for feathers, or lack thereof. Golden eagles have feathers on their legs all the way to their feet, while bald eagles have yellow skin on their ankles that are free of feathers, the Audubon Society reports. Their beaks can also be telling. Bald eagles have very large beaks, about one-third the size of their head, while golden eagles have smaller beaks that are more in proportion with their heads and bodies. The yellow beak color in bald eagles isn't achieved until they reach their full adult coloring, however."
