Southern Northern Flicker - a photo on Flickriver

            I have had several friends look at this image and tell me that something wasn't right with the plummage in this shot --> Northern Flickers (Colaptes auratus) come in two "flavours" - being from northern Ontario we are used to seeing the resident "Yellow-shafted" variety (common to the east / taiga).  As one moves west (i.e. to Arizona, where this photograph was taken) you start to see the "Red-shafted" variety.  There are some differences in the appeance of the red-shafted variety --> reddish-orange (rather than yellow) plummage under the wings, no red nape crescent and a red (rather than black) malar on the male.
