I was walking in to town from my house near the Severn when I came across this sad sight...

Is this a sparrowhawk (which would be very sad but they are quite common round here) or have we just lost one of our very few and precious peregrines of breeding age?
I can distinguish the species in flight, but not dead.
The rusty colour on the breast suggests peregrine to me(not the leaf!)?
