No worries! Raptor identification can be particularly difficult especially with regional variants, dimorphism, similar plumage, etc. I still have difficulty differentiating sharp shin and Cooper hawks. Just a few weeks ago I mistook a Merlin for a kestrel on a rainy day.

Birding can be a really challenging hobby.
