Nice raptor catch, Paul. I can't get at my saved images at this time and my field guide does not show the underside of the included Bald, but I'd be surprised to find solid white on or under a Bald even if just approaching maturity. With the number I've seen in the wild along with the couple dozen my pro friend, Brian Shul, has displayed and those he has sent to me for comment, I can't help but doubt the one you shot is a bald. If not, so what? Still a good good size raptor that may be a non typical Bald.(?)
