It wasn't a very nice day Sunday and poor lighting but I was able to get out to Serpentine for a stroll. At the end of the trail was this interesting hawk which I think is a Coopers hawk but also could be a Sharp Shinned Hawk..... Can anyone confirm it is a Coopers? The lighting was awful but hopefully you can see enough.

Thanks for the help!
