This bird appears to be a hawk.

Looking at the wings, there are what seem to be "fingers" at the ends. Unlike hawks and eagles, falcons have pointy wings, so this is not a falcon.

Lastly, we wonder if this is a hawk or an eagle. For that, we can look at the wingspan. Generally, eagles are larger in size and have a greater wingspan.

Therefore, I believe the above picture is a hawk.
