I think its a Sharpie, but would like confirmation from the experts.

Cooper's for me, given its size relative to its prey.

The raptor does look significantly larger than the Robin, however in the first pic, the nape is dark just like the cap - which is a Sharp-shinned mark. Also (and less objectively) the eyes look big in the head. I'd have to call this a large female Sharp-shinned.

My first impression was Sharpie due to its hooded appearance vs
capped (of adult Coop). I'll stick with Sharp-shinned on this one.

I also think sharpie based on the hood/nape. But it does strike me as quite large compared to the robin.

Looks like a female Sharpie to me as well due to size and also has the hood(dark nape).
