Pic flamboyant - Colaptes auratus

Northern Flicker

Pic flamboyant
This vignette shows the western race of the Northern Flicker. There is an adult male (left), adult female (upper), and a fledgling male (right). The flicker is widely distributed in temperate North America, and the ones in the east are so different (yellow under the wings instead of red; black moustache mark on the male instead of red) that they have been considered to be different species. But they hybridize readily in the middle of the continent, and even at the eastern and western parts of their respective ranges one can sometimes find hybrid traits in certain individuals.
