Only male Hairies have the red spot. American Three-toes have less white on the head and finely barred flanks, which are clean in your bird.

blackburnian Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 And for what it’s worth, you’re not going to see a Three-toed at a feeder. They’re elusive and highly sought-after birds of high boreal forests and burn areas. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
