Die Hand- und Armschwingen des Sperbers sind graubraun gefärbt mit einer rein weißen Aufhellung der Innenfahne. Die Spitze der äußeren Handschwingen ist deutlich abgedunkelt. Auf der Grundfärbung finden sich klare breite dunkle Querbinden, welche proximal schmaler und verzerrter werden. Die Schrimfedern sind deutlich blasser und grauer gefärbt. Die oberste Querbinde der Hand- und Armschwingen ist zu einer , meist hell eingefassten, Terminalbinde ausgebildet.

Die Steuerfedern besitzen die gleiche Färbung mit deutlich Querbinden. Eine deutliche Terminalbinde ist kaum erkennbar, da die Spitze meist hell graubraun, weißlich umrandet, gefärbt ist.

Die Grundfärbung des Gefieders variiert zwischen kräftig braun und blass graubraun. Juvenile Vögel besitzen eine meist breitere, saubere Bänderung. Juvenile Vögel besitzen eine cremefarbene Spitze bzw. Säumung der GrAd. Weibliche Sperber sind größer als die Männchen. Die längste Handschwinge (H6) misst um die 190-210mm. Bei Männchen liegt die Länge meist bei 160-180mm. Der Habicht kann eindeutig durch die größeren Federmaße (längste H mindestens 250mm) unterschieden werden.
