"The owner has disabled downloading of their photos" -- That makes it more difficult to take a better look especially as larger sizes are not available.

First guess is a juvi Sharpie. Squared tail. They often have the white eyestripe though that one is very prominent. I can't really tell if the breast has juvi streaks though that looks like a juvi's yellow eye.

It is very unlikely to be a Goshawk in someone's front garden (unless they live in a forest and have a lot of luck :-)

for an excellent set of ID tips for Coop versus Sharpie.
