These birds are probably some version of "Yellow-shaft" X "Red-shaft" Northern Flicker intergrades.

For at least two weeks our suet feeder has been visited daily by at a male flicker having a bright red nape and black, topped with streak of red darker than usual, moustache, and a second flicker with red nape but no mustache.. undersides of wings and tails do not appear to differ from common variety.
