Birding in BC Community

Photo taken Oct. 10 QE Park.

I have moved this bird from Cooper's to Sharp-shinned and back about three times. Can somebody set me straight? I presently have it in my Cooper's bin.

Thanks

Yes I would agree Coopers.They have a dark cap like this bird and eye looks closer to beak than centre of head like a sharpie.Also tail Looks rounded.

I agree with Cooper's. The pale nape is pretty important.

Nice picture!

I would go with a northern flicker.... oh wait, which bird are we talking about?

Thanks for the advice.

I go with a Red-shafted Flicker.
