Yes, I would agree with juv sharp shinned... looks a tad too small for Cooper's.

Your bird is a juvenile Sharp-shinned Hawk - don't look half as powerful as a cooper's should.

I think the colour of the breast streaking (and pattern of it) makes this juv Sharpy rather than Cooper's. And as has been said looks rather diminuitive.
