Sparrow Hawk or Goshawk?

Trying to decide which one this is. Photographed at Burrendong.

I'm not good with birds of prey but in the second pic the bird has feathers all the way down it's right leg. The third pic doesn't have feathered legs. Or am I blind and I can't see straight because the 2nd pic makes you see things that aren't really there?

I'm at Tenterfield, NSW. (Formerly known as "Hyperbirds".)
