I'm thinking Sharpie but I may well be wrong. You might try our I D Q & A section which can be found [COLOR="Red"]HERE[/COLOR]

A beautiful, frontal capture.

We think that this is a juv Sharp-shinned Hawk,after studying Wheeler and Clark-a photographic guide.

Thanks so much for responding, I really appreciate it. I should know by now, chasing raptors for years and still struggle.

Gorgeous in the face close-up of this beautiful Accipiter. Top marks HE. Besides the obvious that its a juvenile. There are too few characters to look at. It appears to have a relatively small head and short neck but how much of that is the pose? Thanks for sharing! I hope you can get a definitive answer. You have the best clue since you saw the entire bird. Is it Jay size or crow size?
