[mou] about the unidentified bird

[Forest & Kirsten Strnad]

GREETINGS:  

Four birders responded to my inquiry about the unidentified bird.  THREE, of you suggested Yellow-bellied Sapsucker.  One suggested Red-bellied Woodpecker.
 
Thanks to each of you for  your response.  I still don't see any pictures in my bird books of a gray head, throat and breast on a Yellow-bellied Sapsucker.  Though you have suggested that this species varries.
 
SInce I saw an adult Red-belleid Woodpecker fly from a tree where I think the bird landed I am  inclined to think it was an immature Red-bellied Woodpecker.  I have had Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers in the tree.  Their position seemed different than this unidentified bird.
 
Good birding to each of you.
