Danny,
Disagree. Broad-winged is more likely then any of the other two. Dark morph
broadwinged in flight below. Large white tailed band with white tail tips.
Sharp curve beak like a coopers/Swainson’s Hawk gives this away. Common
black hawks have more radtailed like beaks.

Based on the tail pattern is could be a Common Black-Hawk but it lacks
white patch behind the bill. It seemed to be about the same size as a
Cooper’s Hawk – maybe a little larger. The tail pattern in flight
seemed to match a Broad-winged but I didn’t get a picture of that. So,
I’m leaning toward Dark Morph Broad-winged Hawk. Any thoughts?
