@flipper It is! ️🦜

@flipper It's not in genus Accipiter, but does belong to the family Accipitridae. More precisely, it belongs to the subfamily Buteoninae

@Lorraine ️🦜

@Lorraine Thanks, Lorraine. Spot on! We've updated the file to read "A relatively small bird of prey.." This brings it in agreement with its Wiki description. Something we usually check before posting ️🦜

@pokypinkdog Yes, that's probably more likely as these are both considered common birds of prey throughout the US

@Lorraine Wrong side of the pond, but ours is indeed a hawk. Here's the Wiki-page of the Little Sparrowhawk for comparison:

@pokypinkdog According to Wikipedia vagrants are only occasionally spotted in Texas, so we suspect yours might be a relative. Possibly the Broad-winged?

@Scotter No, not a Killdeer, but good guess as it belongs to the same family of shorebirds! Ours is found across the pond:
