Gilded Flicker

The Gilded Flicker (Colaptes chrysoides) is a large-sized woodpecker (mean length of 29 cm (11 in)) of the Sonoran, Yuma, and eastern Desert regions of the southwestern United States and northwestern Mexico including all of the Baja Peninsula except the extreme northwestern region. Golden yellow under wings distinguish the gilded flicker from the northern flicker found within the same region, which have red under wings. Wikipedia

 

This beautiful Gilded Flicker was flying around Golden Valley Arizona.
