Interestingly enough, I have a similar one here, in Woodinville, as well.
(S)/He visits my suet feeder on a regular basis.

His/her back is entirely brown and drab-colored, and only has a small collar
on it's neck (above it's breast), indicating to me that it's a flicker
(well, that and the fact that it has the same size, girth, bill, underbelly
spotting, and tail as a flicker, as well).

I'd be curious also to know if it's juvenile plumage, or an anomalous female
that's extraordinarily...drab/well-camouflaged (depending on how you want to
look at it).

Today I spotted a FLICKER of NO COLOR! No nape, no moustache, and NO wing
color. Could this have been an immature female, or just a drab flicker?
