Hawk thoughts

The woman that rescued the hawk was being told it might be a Red-shouldered Hawk.  Waiting for confirmation.  If you look at the breast feathers and patterns, I would even throw a the possibility of it being a Broad-winged Hawk.

Here is a Broad-winged Hawk...

 
 
And here is a Red-shouldered Hawk...
 
 
 
My nephew Jon thinks it is a juvenile Red-shouldered Hawk.  He and my brother Dean are ruling out Cooper's Hawk due to shape.  Here is a juvenile Red-shouldered Hawk...
 

 
 
I hope to hear the final determination.
