This was taken out midlevel residential area on 4 Jan

The white and black birds appeared to be excited about the presence of the raptor.

There were initially a group of yellow-crested cockatoos making alarm calls.

Then I saw 2 large-billed crows and some cockatoos apparently standing their ground against the raptor-? a crested goshawk or a juvenile ?

For me, the size of it is crested goshawk.
Could any experienced birder give suggestion? Thank you

Thank you fatchun for your ID

I have a better blowup view and perhaps this will help the identification
