Nice shot! Looks like a Cooper's hawk to me based on the size.

It looks much bigger than a Cooper's hawk.

It also has a white chest and a red tail. Cooper's hawks don't have either of those features generally.

It’s not a Cooper’s hawk. Cooper’s hawks are much smaller and leaner. This is a juvenile red-tailed hawk.

Yea, and OP already responded that this bird was much larger than a crow. Cooper's hawks aren't that much bigger than crows, so, again, everything is pointing at red-tailed.
