I've noticed a difference in the red patch on the back of the head of male downy and hairy woodpeckers.
The male hairy has a narrow black line that separates the red patch down the middle (in the back) so there's an equal amount of red on each side.
The male downy has no such black "median" line in the red patch.
I have a suet feeder that's two feet from my window, so I get some good looks.
Anybody else notice this? Or do I have an aberrant male hairy?
Thanks,
Clay Christensen
