I think this is a Coopers Hawk but I don't know.  Pictures taken in Louisville Ky.  I saw another similar one yesterday but he was lighter in color. beige with spots.   Help   Thanks

I would guess a juvenile Sharp-shinned hawk.  The streaking on the underparts seems to be on the whole breast and belly and it looks like there is a faint stripe above the eye.  What does anybody else think?

It's a juvenile accipiter. I'd say Cooper's Hawk based on the rounded tail and bulkiness.

Definitely Accipiter, and the rounded tail would suggest Cooper's.
