Hi Tweeters,

For the past several days I have had what I though was a
Yellow-shafted Flicker visiting my feeders. I had not got a reasonably good
picture until today. The bird does have beautiful yellow shafts on its
feathers, but, although it has a red crescent on the back of its head, it
has a red malar stripe. So is this an "intergrade" flicker?
