It might help to know what continent it was. In Sacramento, Ca. I figured that it is some type of wood pecker, just not sure which. It almost looks like a Gila Woodpecker, see here :http://www.birdersworld.com/default....&archy=&archm= But the male of the species has red on his head, not on his throat. |

That's a problem I noticed with a log of the photo sites -- they don't have pictures of both sexes. |

A member of the woodpecker family, and a beautiful bird. Verify at: http://www.birds.cornell.edu/AllAbou...n_Flicker.html Be very careful! Birding is as addictive as home repair. rec.birds has a nice discussion, and there is a binary group that posts and let you post pictures of birds you have taken for free. Steve |
