Looks good for a Cooper's to me. The rounded tail eliminates Sharp-shinned, imo.

Thank you. 
I was almost sure someone would tell me it was a RTH. 
AllI the other hawks(RTH) I posted, I was sure were falcons or something else. But I finally figured out they were not, with all these experts help. The rounded tail was what I based this guess on, as well.

We jokingly call hawks in this position "Light-pole Hawks", but usually they have all th characteristics do Red-Taileds. this one looks more like a Coopers. Must rethink this label....

Agree with Cooper's here, with that chest streaking and body shape.
