Can anyone help ID this bird of prey?

I'm glad you agree If you look at the first pict you can see that Coallared Dove colour, I was sure about it being a Sparrowhawk as I have searched and watch birds at the nest for extensive hours, aswell as hunting, but i've also flown and hunted a Spar. Thanks Cain

I,m sticking with goshawk,really need it to come back to get a better look at it bear in mind colouration can vary with habitat,goshawk is larger than sparrowhawk ,female gos browner and bigger than male normally would have red eyes and york is in its area,but after all that its down to bcuk,s twitcher in york, good luck hope it comes back

Hopefully with the birds nesting only across the road, Richard is bang in the middle of its territory and it shouldn't be to long before we have better pictures.
