After going through my photos, the sapsucker I found and reported from Denver City Park late Friday morning appears to be a Yellow-bellied Sapsucker -- an adult male, no red on nape but red cap/forehead and with red throat completely bordered in black.
This is at least the third sighting in the park in the past 4 years. Red-naped still has only been recorded in 2017, same bird twice within a week or so in April.
Good birding,
Patrick O'Driscoll

Since 11:30 am high in trees lining path that leads SE from tennis courts and horseshoe pits. Flighty and unpredictable but seems to be moving SE. Unsure if Yellow-bellied or Red-naped but both exceedingly rare here. Will confirm after viewing photos at home.Patrick O'DriscollDenver
