Cooper’s or Sharp-shinned Hawk?

 Posted on May 1 2021

From SW PA. I say this accipiter is NG or Sharp- shinned Hawk. It is blocky or bulky. The tail is broad while gliding. The wings are broad. The hawk appears to have very little waist. I am not interested in bar charts. I am interested on the photograph. From the observer— The hawk went high overhead. But, how high? The bird was acrobatic. High plus acrobatic, to me means the hawk was not a Cooper’s. The best, Nelson. NB.
