Downy Woodpecker?

I first thought this was a female Hairy Woodpecker, but it was only about 7" tall. I think the size and the size of it's beak is more like a Downy. Any Ideas? CC welcome

Looks like a 'Downy' to me. Nice shot!

Thank you Cheryl.

Yep... a female downy. Nice shot.

Thanks Harvey
I thought the heart shaped white spot on her side was interesting. She had an almost identical spot in the same place on the oposite side. I don't know if this is a common marking or not.

I think markings are general and not all identical. Here are a couple of other downy shots...

Here is a shot of her other side. Not a great shot because of the light, but you can see the heart shaped marking again. It would be interesting to know if they are all semetricaly marked from side to side like this. Graet shots by the way Harvey.

Very pretty female downy.

Come on you guys, that's a female Hairy, without a doubt. Downy's are like 4 inches long, I know, I've had them in my hand many times. Look at the beak, it's half as long as her head, a sure giveaway. Compare her to Harveys Downy.

I have seen this heart mark on Hairy's here also. Not all of them have it.

From the comparisons I just did on both birds, I have to say Mitch is correct...

I don't have an opinion of my own, but I'll go with Mitch.

Very Interesting debate. Here is a not so good shot of a male that was about 30 yards away at the exact same time I took the shot of the female. I assumed they were a pair and of the same species. My first thought was also that they were Hairy's because of size. He was about the size of an American Robin, not quite as large as a Northern Flicker. By the way, some sources say 5-7" on the Downy.

Thanks to everyone for their input. Your oppinions are valued as you have much more experience at this then I do.

Yes, that is the male. This time of year, they will be close together, and maybe already nesting. See how much longer the beak is in relation to the size of the head, compared to a Downy? That's the for sure giveaway if you can't see them live.

Here's a Downy with something you already know the size of for comparison.

Wow, that photo really drives home the differance. The length of the beak is dramatic. Thanks a lot for the ID help. Now if that male will just come back and give me a better shot at him I'll be tickled!
