Not sure on this one, looks to be a white band mark above the eye.

I think Goshawk, it has wavy bands on tail and looks like streaking on undertail coverts too.

I'd say Goshawk.  It has that bulky body of a Goshawk that's almost reminiscent of a buteo and also somewhat disproportionally small head.  The streaking seems thicker and goes all the way down.  The tail doesn't seem that long either.
