Really not sure what it is. Looks fairly small compared to the pigeon.
Young kestrel maybe?

My youngest daughter volunteers at a bird of prey centre and reckons it's a juvenile sparrowhawk.
Sometimes you get odd colouration, thrown up by genetic anomalies mate, but I`d go for a juvenile.
It`s deffo a Sparrow Hawk, you can tell by the eyes.
There`s a family of Crows on the golf course by us, that are almost white.
It started a few years ago, with a few white patches on their wings and then as they`ve bred, the white colour has become more prevalent.

The one you`re not sure on is a Siskin.
Lovely little birds that normally live in young Spruce and Pine woods.
I thought it might be a Siskin, we get quite a few in the garden, but I usually only view them from the back (as above) lol
Daughter said same thing mate, the eyes are the giveaway that it's a sparrowhawk and you're spot on with the odd quirk you get in bird colouration.
Just been looking at your picture again.
Are my eyes deceiving me or does that pigeon have a ring on its leg?
Some poor bloke might still be waiting patiently for it to arrive back at its loft. lol

Just realised it was @lesbattersby's picture.
You don't live near big Dunc by any chance do you Les? It might be a good time to move lol
Unfortunately not, the picture was from a video my friend sent me. I posted a picture on here a couple of weeks ago asking about a bird that turned out to be a sparrowhawk. This one is a total different colour so wasn't sure what it was.
As far as I'm concerned Les your pet sparrowhawk literally ripped the arse out of one of big Duncs expensive Doo's , pick your window mate lol
Still haven't gotten over his move to Newcastle mate that'll teach him.
