Observation details
I came back for a better look at an intriguing bird (a Melanerpes with dark head and pink underparts) only glimpsed on my morning visit. But it turned out to be “just” an unusual Red-headed. It was feeding a normal-looking juvenile. After looking over the photos, I suppose it could be stained, but there appears to be a sharp border between the pink breast and clean white underwing coverts, so I think it's erythristic.
