Observation details
high in a coniferous tree (a spruce possibly)(and far up the trail) and from below all I could see was extensive white spotting or mottling on the back (not in two rows, but spread across the whole back) - the feathers seemed fluffed out because of the cold (I guess), red under the bill (once when it looked over its shoulder at me), the white coverts stripe (very distinct). The red-bellied nuthatches were mobbing it (There was not a lot of black beside the white stripe and I remember wondering how it could stand out so well without black to contrast with!) In any case, it was a bright bird and was not brownish on the back. I didn't see any red except the red under the chin but I never saw the top of the head. (Possibly YBSA?)
