Cooper’s, I think. Note facial ‘expression’ — one characteristic I’ve sometimes found useful is that sharp-shinned hawks usually look bug-eyed, or startled; Cooper’s tend to look angry or mean. I think this is may be due to a somewhat more prominent brow ridge on Cooper’s. Male sharpies are fairly easy to ID from size alone: barely bigger than robins.
