Accipitridae sp. (Central Spain) (1 Viewer)

In picture 0640 it has a protrouding head and looks quite fat, that can't be a sparrowhawk if that are the options. But wait for the pros :)
 
I think Goshawk after a considerable effort trying to view the images.

I made a composite for others to save them the same effort!

And me,

thanks for that Steve but that is what should have been done by the poster.

Sadly many do not have the facilities or software to edit pictures to the quality Steve has Andy. Also I have found that attempts at rather amateurish pre-post editing that have sometimes been posted often on here render the original 'unable to edit further/re-edit.' No offence intended.
 
IF there is barring on underparts (any of the editors seeing it too?) this has to be a sparrowhawk since it has boldly barred remiges. only a young gos - with streaking on underparts - would also show this kind of remiges barring.

I can see some barring on the secondaries in the first pic (upper left corner in the composite) but the overall shape with small hand, big breast, head protruding are just too good for Gos, so maybe a younger one, artefacts or even a juvenile (cannot see any details on the breast)
 
I don't know whether this is helpful, but when I lightened up the composite photo a little bit more detail seemed to appear.
