Hawk ID in S.E. North Carolina (2 Viewers)

These are all in my back yard. Theres a single pic of one that flew right over me. Then the others are three different birds all flying at the same time around my Pecan tree. The three seem to fly together regularly. I played some sharp shinned hawk calls while they flew one day. They definitely reacted and came to my location. Pics are unclear on them but they have very distinct white marks near the wing tips. I couldnt find any pics like them. They are not as big as a Red Tailed. Broad winged size approximately. The close up was smaller(juvenile possibly ?) about a two to 2.5 feet wing span. S.East, NC this month(June). I think about the only animal I havent found in my yard thats is an alligator….yet. Even had a donkey back there when I came home one day.🤣

Hi there and a warm welcome to you from those of us on staff here at BirdForum (y)
We're glad you found us and please join in wherever you like. ;)

Being from the US I still can't figure out what you've got there.
 
1. Red-tailed hawk (dark leading edge to inner part of underwing), immature (finely-barred tail).
2, 4-6. Red-shouldered hawk (translucent patch across outer primaries, thick tail-bars).
3. Probably red-shouldered hawk (translucent patch less obvious because of moulted primaries.
