Merritt Island Wildlife Refuge and Viera Wetlands in Florida

In-flight, a microsecond after launching from pinnacle of a long-dead tree trunk. I think this is a Sharp-Shinned hawk - but not certain. Can anyone out there confirm, please? ( it's smaller than a Cooper's hawk but larger than a Kestrel )
