Neither Hobby nor Peregrine. This is either a Brown Goshawk or a Collared Sparrowhawk. I'll leave it to the raptor gurus to identify which it is.

Hi all
 
Mt Arapiles, where I took this (fuzzy) picture with my point and shoot camera is home to Peregrine Falcons (which I have seen previously). So I thought this one was one, too - until I downloaded my photos to my computer and had a better look.
 
That rufous patch on the neck was a bit strange, as was the lack of "mottling" on the wings and back.
 
I've actually never seen a hobby. Is this one?
 
Sorry for the fuzzyness - at least it's not as fuzzy as my Red-capped Robin.
 
 
Thanks
 
Susanne
