Personally, I thought this was pretty obviously a Cooper's Hawk. The
tail color & banding and very light belly with rather sparse streaking,
combined with a fairly slim profile, just say Coop to me. On BNA
Online, most of the juvenile Cooper's in several photos have a light
supercilium.
Disclaimer: Goshawk IS one of my "nemesis" birds (meaning I have no
confirmed sightings.) However, I have had many Cooper's Hawks of all
ages & sexes in my yard over many years, so I've been able to study them
pretty closely.
My two cents' worth-
Peter Fissel
