I thought the same. It has a great Coopers profile, long and lean, except that the wings are too long and the tail isn't long enough.

I saw a hawk at Carlos Avery that I (very tentatively) IDed as an immature broadwing. I would appreciate it if someone might look at this pic and critique my efforts. Thanks in advance for any help.
