Possible Rufous-breasted Sparrowhawk 10/08/2024, Kenya (1 Viewer)

Hi everyone! I saw this bird on the 10th of August 2024, at Rift Valley Viewpoint (here: -1.0113828418732775, 36.62702411417748). At the time, I had written it off as an African Goshawk, but now I might thinking it could be a Rufous-breasted Sparrowhawk, because of the reddish cheek. I have only these pictures and I saw it from above (no view of the bird from below). What do you guys think? Both species have been seen from this spot...
