Hello, once again I'm looking for confirmation on an ID.  I think this is a Coopers Hawk but just want to be sure.  Thanks!  It was taken in a backyard in Woodstock Ontario.

I'm no expert, but the more rounded tail suggests coopers to me as well.

It's always a challenge to distinguish between the Copper's and a Sharp-shinned Hawk with a single picture. I too would lean towards Cooper's with the eye to head ratio.
