Those pointed tail feathers are a definite clue
a flash of yellow under the tail and a red crescent at the back of the head
The beautiful speckled breast and black bib

Those pointed tail feathers are a definite clue
a flash of yellow under the tail and a red crescent at the back of the head
The beautiful speckled breast and black bib
Of course! It is the handsome Northern (Yellow-shafted) Flicker.
