Subadult bald eagles can look something like that, especially in their
3rd year, e.g.:

Though it's not really as distinct a "band" as it is with subadult
golden eagles.

My first thought was that it was a juvenile Bald Eagle, but when I looked at it with binoculars, the most distinctive field mark I could spot was a light tail ending with a distinct dark band. I looked but couldn't find a Bald Eagle image with that tail pattern. A 2nd year Golden Eagle seems to fit what I saw, but that sure would be unlikely.
