I’ve never seen a Peregrine looking like the last image. Yes, there is a well known and often stated similarity (pointed out by fieldguides) that can sometimes be seen between Goshawk and Peregrine. However, in all the many regular times of seeing Goshawks over the years, I have only ever seen this similar ‘structural feel’ when a Goshawk is in a stoop or steep downward glide with the primary tips well swept back, with carpel joints well forward, giving the wings a falcon-like pointed wing appearance. I don’t see this in the last image - the wing tips look broad and the hands not swept back to that ‘Pere’ gizz.
You could be right it could be a Goshawk as I said, these are ‘difficult’ images. The tail could look square if the central retrices are moulted and with the tail closed, any moult gaps would be hard to see - but I think that would make the tail taper even more than I would normally expect for Gos. Having said that, there’s nothing to suggest active moult from these images.
I’m fortunate enough to have several nesting pairs near me which I see regularly and I’ve often seen them flying high up in open sky too. I instantly without hesitation know when I see them cf to Sparrowhawk- I’m just not getting that here.
