Not Sure What Bird This Is ?

[Delboy]

My lad sent me this video of a bird in Bellshill today. Thought at first it was a buzzard or young peregrine but not certain of the markings?

 

Forget this post as it isn't uploading the video

Let's hope it's not a Gos Hawk , Would be bad news if they were breeding those for release
