This sparked much more of a debate than I thought it would--I thought I had a pretty clear picture! My girlfriend is the photographer; I will get more pictures from her in the morning that will hopefully help.
It seems like some people may be factoring my own impression too heavily--I've only ever seen a single Cooper's and no Sharpies at all. My impression is based solely on my own understanding of the nape and head shape differences between the species. (And that understanding comes pretty much exclusively from what Sibley has to say about it)
I will also try and figure it what species the tree in when the sun rises. This is just a rental house and I'm no arborist, so I can't tell you off the top of my head.
