Jack,
I would call this a Peregrine, for the same reasons you have. The head
markings and breast match Peregrine more than Gyr. There is one shot showing
the underside of tail, not particularly diagnostic, but tends to match more,
the regular pattern of Peregrine.

I liked the stocky body on this bird for Gyr.
But you will see in the third photograph which I just turned up the exposure
on, the underside of the flight feathers and dark mustache make me think it
might be a Peregrine.
I do not have any shots of the underside of the tail.
