Grey-faced Buzzard? Besra? Crest Goshawk??Come and discuss~!

we saw a raptor which Carmen and I think it is a Japanese Sparrowhawk instead of Besra.
Can any expect confirm it?

I didn't take good photos on the back, but the dark tail bands are 2x narrower than the light one, no white rump,
vertical streak on breast to belly but horizontal band on flank.
