1. 'Surprised' rather than 'evil' look.

2. squarish tail.

3. beak small relative to head

4. very long middle toe.

This makes, IMO, four clues out of four that support your determination.

regards

Con

Hi Everyone,

At the risk of annoying those of you far more accomplished than me at identifying raptors, I'm hoping someone will be able to confirm my hesitant Id of this bird as a juvenile Collared Sparrowhawk.

Cheers
Julie
