Broad Wing or Cooper's - Brampton, Ontario (1 Viewer)

First shot taken yesterday. Second and third taken today.
Are these Broad Winged or Cooper's. I think based on eye colouration I would say Broad Winged (maybe juvenile?)
Your help appreciated. Thanks

I'd go with Cooper's - extremely long tailed relative to wings (and it has a very clear broad white tip). Tail can be seen to be very rounded when fanned in the photos. Clear vertical spotting on breast, slender, elongated structure (Broad-wings always seem dumpy).
