Collared Sparrowhawk?

I recorded this bird I photographed today at a fair distance in the vicinity of Jerrabomberra Wetlands as a collared sparrowhawk on the basis that it was about the same size or a fraction smaller than the magpies perched in the same tree. However I am aware that they can be confused with male Brown Goshawks which are much more commonly reported at Jerrabomberra Wetlands on http://www.eremaea.com/

 

Can anyone offer an opinion on the basis of this slightly grainy photo?

 

Thanks,

 

John
