Goshawk or Sparrowhawk? (Norfolk, UK) (1 Viewer)

Saw this confusing hawk today over a large forest where both species are regularly seen. Goshawk or sparrowhawk?
I initially thought goshawk, but then began to doubt it significantly. If I just had the first photo I would have said goshawk without thinking, but the second one confuses me (same bird)

YES!! Although I'll be back there soon anyway
I got confused of the T shape and the apparent small head, despite the first photo being a goshawk with I'd say 81% likelihood
