Imm. Sapsucker Colina del Sol Park

As I recall, any imm. plumaged sapsucker in winter should be Yellow-bellied. If that is the case I just had a sapsucker with a brown back & faint Yellow-bellied/Red-naped pattern on the brown head. It was in the Brazilian Pepper Trees north of the parking lot at the end of 52nd Place, accessed off 52nd Street, north of University Ave. It is not currently in view as I write this email.
