I thought this bird to be about 11-12", which suggested it was a sharpie. But looking at the tail shape suggests it might be a male cooper's, if I am wrong about it's length, and it is more like 14". The tail shape of a sharpie, from what I can tell, is more square when in flight, but rounded, and with an indent when perched. I'm pretty sure someone will offer a correct ID, possibly within seconds of posting. For context, this bird got into our chicken tractor, maybe by chasing some of the sparrows that glean dropped chicken feed.

Estimated at about 3.5". Flew into barn at dusk, flew a few patterns and landed at the top of the 16' post. It tucked its head under its body once settled. Was not located the following day.
