I'm going to call this a Sharp-shinned Hawk, but I wouldn't be surprised if someone thought Cooper's.

Could be either. They're very difficult to tell them apart when just perched. Did you see him flying? If so, any specific observations?

It was perched low in brush. When it decided to fly off it went straight behind brush and was obscured...no good look at it in flight. Called it a Sharpie based on size mostly.

Whether it's a sharp-shinned or a Cooper's hawk, you really make a beautiful capture of this handsome bird, Steve! The sharpness is spot on, and this bird looks so alive!

Very much appreciated, Mike! Thanks!

A pic from several years ago. I think a cygnet never survived due to alligators in the area and haven't seen the adults in a couple of years.

Size can be a good indicator.
