Is this a younger Cooper's Hawk?

Or is it a Sharp-shinned? I'm seeing a smaller head.

Square-cut tail, lightweight body, I'd say Sharp-shinned

Agree with Resin....Sharp-shinned Hawk...no real white on the edgings of the tail feathers either. Nice shots! That first one is almost identical to my field guide picture.
