I think this is a sharp shinned hawk and not a coopers but would appreciate someone more knowledgeable to confirm please. It is the first time I have been able to get the whole bird as usually the tail is hidden, unfortunately I did not get a flight shot so don't know what the under wings look like. Thanks.

Could it be a juvenile?

I'll go with your first guess. A Sharp-shinned Hawk.
