You're in Northern California, right? (It's always helps to tell us where and when you took a bird photo.) My guess is a juvenile Red-shouldered Hawk. Without seeing the chest, I'm not going to go beyond a guess.

Yes Northern California near the coast. Thanks much Jim.

Looks like Red-shouldered juvenile to me too Lucy and Jim.
