Hawk ID - Sharp-shinned, Coopers, or other? Everglades, Florida yesterday (1 Viewer)

What's the date of the photos?
Not an Accipiter (Coop/Sharpie) - this is a Buteo, and in the Red-shouldered/Broad-winged range. I would opt for a young (1st year) Red-shouldered due to a) commonality, b) barring across wings, c) apparent translucent window in primaries, d) dully marked tail.

"If it looks like an accipiter, but it turns out to be a buteo, it's a red-shoulder."
That, and all the reasons AlexC gave.
