I'm guessing a roundish edged tail suggests a Brown Goshawk? Skulking behaviour also before it took flight. Kind regards, Roy.

If I had to choose between CS and BG it would be goshawk, but it may be neither of those, as it is so lightly marked

I should add there was great alarm amongst the local rosellas and noisy miners as it passed through, to be contrasted with the non-reaction to the local Nankeen Kestrels...
Cheers, Roy.

Roy, I think you are correct with Brown Goshawk due to tail. Ryu, any further comment?
