I think it's a red tailed hawk. My eyes suck though, and the pic is blurry and lacks enough resolution to zoom in well (not complaining, you take the shots you get; just explaining why my id is dubious).
It's got the right coloration though, and the belly matches
I was just going to guess Cooper’s hawk! To my eye the legs could be thinner and the eyes could be buggier for a sharpie. But Cooper or sharpie is an eternal debate, and I’m not confident enough to be definitive either.
I am going with a Cooper's Hawk.
I think you nailed it!
Yep it looks exactly pike the middle one!
