My reasoning on the hawk is: Pope's nose, lighter nape, reasonably thick legs and the tail feathers look to be rounded but I welcome input.  Thanks

I agree for these reasons (though I have never heard "pope's nose" before!) and will also add the narrow, dark brown streaking on the chest is another good way to differentiate Coop from Sharpie. Sharp-shinned juvs have broad and smudgy, reddish-brown streaking.

Good comparison on the streaking
