Northern Flicker
Northern flicker (red-shafted), Colaptes auratus, in my back yard in February. A mature male would have a distinct bright red whisker stripe. This one does not, but the brown face where the whisker should be (and also above the eye) has an orangey tint. Maybe it's an immature male.
