I'd vote for a Juv Goshawk as well. Check these images I took a couple years
back and make your own comparisons.

I am not the one person who responded to Paul with a Goshawk ID. However the
photos show an obvious white eyeline on the raptor. Both the Sibley and the
Peterson guides make a note of the supercillium as an identifying mark for a
junvenile Goshawk and not for the Coopers Hawk.
Â
So I am wondering why this raptor would not be a Goshawk junenile instead of a
Coopers Hawk.

Just an update for everyone. Most people think the bird is a female Cooper's
Hawk. I did get one person that thought it was a Northern Goshawk, and that
was in the back of my mind and if I'm honest that's what I had hoped it was.
No matter what the bird is, I was glad I saw it and hope it comes back for
better photos.
