[cobirds] Hybrid? Male Flicker in west Centennial, Arapahoe County

Hello Fellow Birders,
 
   Male flicker on the suet in my little townhouse yard 1/4 mile northwest of the intersection of Holly & Arapahoe, is an apparent blend of Yellow- & Red-shafted subspecies.  Has a red (though faint) nuchal on nape like Yellow-shafted, deep orange undertail more like Red-shafted, and half-and-half red & black malar marks like a little bit of each!

Keep Smilin',
