Although when you showed me the photo I initially thought it was a Chinese Goshawk, I would tend to think now after see the photos more closely that this is a Japanese Sparrowhawk due to the faint supercilium and the white blotches on the upperparts which fit juvenile Japanese Sparrowhawk quite well.

Japanese Sparrowhawk, immature 日本松雀鷹

Thanks Brendan for the ID of the bird.
The descriptive features for the ID is very useful.

Looks like a Chinese Sparrowhawk to me. The orange cere and leg are good features.  The dark bars on tail are thinner than that of Japanese.
