Is this a juvi Cooper's Hawk

[murali]

This bird showed up for dinner yesterday. I think it is a juvi Cooper's hawk. Can it be a red tail hawk or even a falcon? Curious. Thanks.

It looks more like a Cooper's than a red-tail in the illustrations I have. The red-tail would have more of a white breast. Nice shot.

Yes, it's a juvenile Coopers. Red-tailed have some sort of chest band that's normally visible. nice shot of it

Hey Murali, what a great photo! That's a fun bird to have show up for dinner!

So its a Cooper Hawk? That's really cool. I am bad on my bird names.
