Very nice but I think it is either a Cooper or sharpshinned hawk.

Bob from BL photography has graciously helped me name this bird eating Raptor, I am going with Coopers due to the large number of Coopers hawks in this area--Thank you Bob, and please everyone check out BL Photography for REAL wildlife Images

I have a shot of a red tailed hawk as well. Of course yours is much nicer. I have a lot of trouble with branches. there were several in front of him, and I did a terrible job post processing trying to "erase" them.
