Goshawk or Sparrowhawk? (Norfolk, UK) (1 Viewer)

Saw this confusing hawk today over a large forest where both species are regularly seen. Goshawk or sparrowhawk?
I initially thought goshawk, but then began to doubt it significantly. If I just had the first photo I would have said goshawk without thinking, but the second one confuses me (same bird)

It's moving its head in the second picture, so it looks smaller. Goshawk for me.

YES!! Although I'll be back there soon anyway
I got confused of the T shape and the apparent small head, despite the first photo being a goshawk with I'd say 81% likelihood

Hi. Gos for me too! The tail in the first pic, shows a rounded edge/end to it... length looks pretty good too.

Goshawk all day long. Bulging secondaries and narrow hand. Head/neck are foreshortened in the second image as the bird is looking down.
