[On page 20 of this topic I have invited suggestions for a broader scope than was the case when this topic was conceived in early 2020.... nature rather than just birds, enjoyment wherever you find pleasure rather than just a garden]
This photo taken this morning, whilst looking at the garden for the RSPB Big Garden Birdwatch. Needless to say that there were no other birds in sight at the time. I have never seen a hawk in the garden before so I am very keen to know the type.

First thought was Kestrel - possibly wrong colour of the back feathers.
Second thought was Sparrowhawk - searching the internet suggests this breed is migratory / summer visitors.
Suggestions?
