Stephen Debus’ comment:

Hi Greg,

I agree; on head and neck projection, wing shape 
and gently rounded tail tip I'd favour Brown 
Goshawk. A Sparrowhawk should show a smaller 
head and bill, more S-curved trailing edges to 
the wings, and a square-cut to notched, 
sharp-cornered tail tip. Sparrowhawks also have 
more boldly barred primaries, though difficult to see at that distance.

Cheers,

Steve
