I have debated on whether this is a Sharp-shinned or Cooper's Hawk and studied descriptions of both. Based mostly on the small size (it is a very slender bird) and a higher pitch call, I am leaning towards Sharp-shinned however the rounded tail as shown in this photo makes me think Cooper's.. Any positive ID's would be most appreciated.
