Brown Goshawk or Collared Sparrowhawk? Charles Darwin National Park, NT Australia (1 Viewer)

Well-known member
Is this a Brown Goshawk or Collared Sparrowhawk? Photos are of one individual.

Photo 2 gives an indication of the length of the middle toe but I'm not sure about the relative length that would positively point to either a Brown Goshawk or Collared Sparrowhawk.

Hope these photos are good enough to provide an ID.

Help appreciated!

Agree, immature Brown Gos., rounder tail and harsh frown / glare facial expression (rather than shocked stare of a Sprawk)
