Northern Flicker (?)

After going through my handy new Puget Sound Region bird book, I matched my photo to a bird named Northern Flicker. I may be wrong. What say you? Thanks for your visits and comments. Have a great weekend.

Gloria, I googled the northern flicker and here is a link to him. You are correct as to what he is and they are in the woodpecker family!! You captured an amazing photo of this beautiful bird! Lucky you to have seen him!! FAV! https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/40/Northern_Flicker.jpg

Love the bokeh, nice capture!

Definately a Northern Flicker, red shafted female I believe. When I was out there I got to see the yellow shafted one that was a treat for me. Nice capture!
