A composite image showing 3 astur hawks in flight in similar poses. Left: a juvenile Cooper's Hawk. Center: Unidentified bird from Original Poster. R: a juvenile American Goshawk. The Center bird more closely matches the shape of a Cooper's Hawk.
Sharing a composite I made for #RaptorID FB group. Center is OP's astur hawk from NV. L: #CoopersHawk from my library/R: #AmericanGoshawk from Macaulay Library.
OP wings look a bit broad, but not as long and broad as AGOS. Tail: not broad-based in all frames. Looks big-headed.
Verdict: #COHA 😎🦅🪶
Some advanced #RaptorID talk with a friend about using the field mark of streaked undertail coverts when it comes to separating #CoopersHawk and #AmericanGoshawk.
Starting w/this OP bird, called AGOS in this checklist, shows a fine streak in UTCs in 2nd pic: ebird.org/checklist/S4...
😎🪶 #birding
