The i.d. method I use for those two birds is simple - If it stares,it's a Collared Sparrowhawk-If it glares,it's a Brown Goshawk. Your bird looks like it's glaring to me,so I agree with your i.d.
thanks
(people tell me that there is very little difference between my stares and my glares)

The rounded tail would be more useful for ID when in flight. Then again, if the tail is damaged, it may look square, which would indicate a Sparrowhawk. It is a hard one to distinguish from this shot Peter. Do you have more images? Seeing from front on, showing the toes would also be helpful.
unfortunately no as the bird stayd like this until it decided to fly forward through the trees
