Sparrowhawk? Merlin? Something else? (1 Viewer)

I was at Titchfield Haven today and saw this bird (picture hopefully attached). About the right size for a Sparrowhawk (there was a buzzard a few fence posts over for reference), but as it was a long way off it was hard to tell exactly what it was (plus I'm not too hot on birds of prey). The picture shows front and back so I hope there is enough there for an id.

Any suggestions appreciated. Ta!
