   Are you sure it is an intergrade Flicker? Yellow-shafted Northern Flickers have a black whisker, red mark at the back of nape, and yellow shafts (of course). Red-shafted Northern Flickers have a red whisker and red shafts. This Northern Flicker exhibits the normal plumage of a yellow-shafted flicker. I’m not sure about the red in its whisker, it could be a pigment anomaly, but I guess it could be an intergrade. Anyways, great photos!
