Please id this raptor. Sorry for the poor quality of the photo!

It was flying very low, at below 100m when I first saw it. It was circling and going higher, until it reached the distant hills beyond my sight.

Thanks Pitarhk
By the way how did you know?

Why isn't this a Chinese Goshawk? It looks more like a Chinese Goshawk to me.

Any professional volunteers?

I go for Chinese Goshawk (Sparrowhawk). The quality of the photo makes it difficult.
