    It appears to have changed its sex too or is the first one a juvenile?

    They are such a pretty bird. I love it when they come for the suet. Thank you for sharing...

    Very pretty birds. I had one visit last year and am putting up 4 suet stands that will hopefully be used.

    The difference may be the angle of light reflection on/from the cheek/throat feathers..

    no. lightjob, they are two different birds that came to the same place the male and female northern flicker. I was just messing with you all. By putting that branch between two feeders, they go on it to get from one to the other. I've been doing this for years and it works great.
