What a fantastic capture Den...and I think your ID is right on!!!
Thanks, Carolina! I have seen a consensus on a Facebook page that agrees that this is a "Sharpie".

Two ways to tell a Coopers from a Sharp-shinned is the Coopers has a more rounded tail and the Sharp-shinned square ended. The other is the head of the Sharp-shinned is smaller in relationship to the body. One book described the Cooper's as being more integrated with the body.
Thanks for that info, Lowkee. It helps me understand the differences between the two.

Thank, BamaTexan! I might have a Cooper's Hawk in a similar flight orientation. If so, I'll post them together for comparison.
