Goshawk, Harrier or something else?

Hi everyone, saw this bird in my daughter's yard in Wangaratta, Vic yesterday. It was feeding off a pigeon. Fairly small as evidenced when our daughter's chooks raised over to check the bird out. It promptly flew off with its prey.

Juvenile collared sparrowhawk, I think...

Yes Tim is spot on, and with the size comparison against the chooks I would confidently say its a male.
