Nice image John, especially when clicked on. It is the age old problem of telling a Coopers from a sharp-shinned. From this view it would only be a guess. But I do see way more Coopers than sharpies so I usually err on calling them coopers.

Nice lighting and look back pose, John. Great job hand holding @ 600mm. Good-looking photograph.

Great looking back pose, excellent find and shot. The tail end should tell the ID but it is kind of confusing on this image. My guess it is a Cooper's.

Lovely back view detail and good head turn to show that beautiful eye! A click shows the tack sharp details from head to tail. Well done, John!
