Young Sparrowhawk?

This happened in my neighbour's garden.There was such a commotion and when I looked over the fence,this young bird of prey had captured a young Starling.The noise that the other birds made was so loud and they dived at it,hooping to free the starling.Blackbirds,magpies and starlings galore all joined in,but to no avail.I didn't wait to watch the final act,but it took about 15 minutes for the hunter to make the kill.
