This hawk has been visiting and we enjoyed watching it catch and eat a mole the other evening.

No, the tail is wrong for one thing. Cooper's Hawk or sharp shinned (those two are similar) maybe?

Thanks to all! Shot with my wife’s Sony HX50 in low light at full zoom range so pretty soft but you helped me identify which is what I wanted.

As per Jim’s suggestion I looked up Broad winged hawk and it is an adult light morphed Broad-winged hawk.

After looking up both the Coopers and Broad winged hawks I can’t tell the difference!
