Hi, Gary!
Accipiters have always challenged me, but I'm pretty sure that your 
photographed bird is an adult Cooper's Hawk. My first impression was 
Cooper's, and I realized why: it shows some of that "capped" appearance and 
squarish head shape that makes it look a bit "bulkier" unlike the more 
"cute" Sharp-shinned Hawk. It's tail is rounded off, which I'm pretty sure 
is the mark for Cooper's as well (Sharp-shinned would be flatter, I 
believe). That's a very nice photo!
That's my nickel and dime at least.
