These are tough birds to separate. I can’t speak to the plumage clues ... but
I did look up the sighting map in eBird for Broads right now. There are no
recent interior US sightings in the east. Red-shoulders are being seen
“commonly”.
That and my experience with juvenile Red-Shoulders in winter and spring make me
lean that way. But with these great Picts we should be able to get a ruling.
Thanks,

Subject: [TN-Bird] Can anyone ID this hawk please?
Juvenile red-shouldered, Coopers or Groshawk perhaps?
Thank you!
