Yes it appears to be a vs, rather than a cf (raptors in general don’t like each other). As in the photo of 2 birds, the upper one is a Brown Falcon & lower
one a Brown Goshawk. Other photo appears to me as 2 Brown Goshawks with Brown Falcon in the middle. I think the size of the bird (relative to BF) and rather sturdy build and what appears as a rounded tail, appear to rule out a Collared Sparrowhawk.

Brown Falcon V's Brown Goshawk these images are way out of my range heavily cropped should be deleted curiosity got the better of me to see who it was
Falcons kept their territory
Assuming its a Brown Goshawk could be a sparrowhawk
As they say no photo no proof
