Photo of CLOSED: Hawk ID

This hawk has been buzzing my neighbor's bird feeders. It perches in the trees near the feeders. Haven't seen her (I think, because it is big) grab a snack yet, but it has likely happened. I only got one photo because it moves around a lot when I'm out there, but it does stay in the area - doesn't want to leave its good hunting spot.

I think based on this location/time of year that this is a Cooper's, but the photo and angle is pretty bad. I can't see very much of the bird. Is it enough for ID?
