Appreciate the comments however,,, It's a juvenile Red Shoulder Hawk
I agree it is a really good picture, but it really is a Cooper's Hawk. The tail is much too long for a Red-shouldered, but it is just right for a Cooper's. The white bands of a Red-shouldered are much narrower; these are just right for a Cooper's. The streaks on the breast are thin and dark; a Red-shouldered's in Florida are not. Instead, they are blotchy.

Yup. That is a picture of a Red-shouldered Hawk. There are similarities, but they are not the same so your's is still a Cooper's. Please reread my points and check out the allaboutbirds link to Cooper's Hawk immature. https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Coopers_Hawk/photo-gallery/305687541

I was grateful for the poses.
Thought this was an attractive angle.
Sony A 7 II
Sigma 70 MM Macro
f4, 1/320 sec, ISO 100
This shot was the same day as two of my previous posts.
The Crested Caracara and the Flying Osprey..
So.. quite a day and there is a couple more to come

Beautiful bird and great pic! However me thinks this could be a Cooper's hawk (or possibly sharp-shinned) and not a red-shouldered hawk?
My thoughts too...but willing to be wrong if need be. ☺
