Cora Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 (edited) I live near St. Louis, MO. I have a few pictures of a bird captured from an outdoor cam taken on April 14. The pictures do not show the full body of the bird. The head looks quite similar to that of a white-crowned sparrow but the color of the belly does not. I will greatly appreciate help. Thanks.

Charlie Spencer Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 For comparison purposes, https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Downy_Woodpecker https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/White-crowned_Sparrow Notice the Downy is only black and white (males have small red spot on the head). White-crowneds, like most sparrows, have significant amounts of brown shades. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cora Posted April 14 Author Share Posted April 14 Thanks. I could not recognize it because it is behind the feeder. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
