Observation details
Sapsucker with red throat bordered by black, and no red on nape; consistent with male Yellow-bellied or female Red-naped. Nape, head, and breast with scattered brown, indicating HY bird molting into adult plumage. Also, red on crown and throat not as bright as adult. Golden color on back contrasting with white wing patch and white spots on black flight feathers. Some golden flecks in white wing patch. Molt timing rules out Red-naped, which should no longer have brown juvenile body feathers in December. West of Restroom 8, between middle and south lakes. Photos.
