- Comments: "rare! and a patch bird for me. bright adult with clean white belly and boldly defined red head, white wing patches on trailing edge of wing along the body. silent but low flyover with classic bouncy woodpecker gait, failed to relocate but the bird is surely still local, will try again later."
