It's a Cooper's Hawk. The Sharp Shinned Hawk has a squared off tail; this one is rounded.

It's a juvenile Red-tailed Hawk. A Cooper's Hawk would have a longer tail that would have wide barring on it. The streaks on the breast of a Cooper's would go all the way up to the chin.

My granddad used to call all large hawks Chicken Hawks and he encouraged us to go ahead and open season on 'em!
