Charlie Spencer Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 FYI, Red-bellieds are noticeably larger, with longer bills, more red on the head, and narrow black and white horizontal stripes across the back.

Tony Leukering Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 I'm curious why you considered Red-bellied, given the lack of black-and-white barring on the back and the very limited amount of red on the head. The black spots of the outer tail feather rule out the only similar species in NY, Hairy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
