Thanks, ConorSheaWing, it looked similar to my other hawk spotting that I assumed it was the same Cooper's Hawk. Thanks for the correction.

Coopers hawks have slate grey caps and back, this bird does not. The Redish breast and the white splotches on the wings tell you that this is Buteo lineatus. Please update your spotting.
