Sharp-shinned ???

Pretty much a grab shot but I did have camera on a tripod. The setting as they were set for earlier shooting worked out to this degree. I'm happy with this but know it is not the sharpest and background a bit busy.

What do you think? Is this a Sharp-shinned or Coopers?

Olympus E-5
50-200mm with 1.4 TC
283mm FL
1/40 sec @f13 -0.3ev
ISO200
Cropped to appro 60 of FF.

Please critique and will appreciate all comments.

Nice catch, Charlie. It must have been very close to get this. I won't venture a guess as ti which it is-there are far better birders than I on this site.

Charlie,
Well captured for a 'Grab Shot', I know all to well the combination of skill and luck involved to pull it off as well as you have here. The colors really pop and the framing works well. Very tough lighting with the bright sun spots and shaded areas but you have them well balanced.
