Woodpecker - Yellow-shafted Male Northern Flicker





These were pretty poor quality pics and took some post-processing to make them as presentable as you see here.
There were two or three flying around so the one in the grass is not the same bird, but appears to have all the same markings, plus it shows the black patch on the breast.

Markings of Note:
That thin line of yellow feathers
Tan face
Gray crown
Black crescent on breast
Red crescent on nape
White rump
Black mustache stripe (male)

enature
Northern Flicker (Colaptes auratus)

cornell
