That looks like the Coopers Hawks that come by my yard to try and pick off off our African Gray Parrot who loves to spend time out doors. She’s on to their game and lets the whole neighborhood know when there’s danger afoot.

These hawks are fun to watch because they are so agile in flight compared to the soaring hawks. I watched one chase a finch and follow it’s dodging flight move for move and come to a momentary, hovering stop in the process. Their colors seem plain but up close they are beautiful in their subtle shadings and contrasts.

Nice pix, great looking bird; I had one of those visit the back yard spring last year (fortunately, the cockatiels were inside at the time ...) Managed to squeeze off a couple photos but nothing to compare to this one.
