Great observation.
I am thinking Collared Sparrowhawk in this case but they are hard to tell apart
from Brown Goshawk at the best of times. Here is a Collared Sparrowhawk in the
act in SA a while back.

Subject: Can anyone help identify this bird?
Hello birding community
I am pretty new to this forum so not sure if the protocol for asking questions
but here it goes...
Last Friday I noticed this small bird of prey in my garden as it was plucking a
pigeon. I couldn’t see anything in my bird books that look like this. The
closest I got was Australian Hobby it a Brown Falcon. Any ideas?
