Been watching for the mate of the red shafted flicker I keep seeing in my
neighbors yard - today I pulled up in the driveway and saw two in neighbors
front yard pecking the ground - I pulled out my spotting scope and
positively identified both.  The were eating mostly grubs.  I assume it is
a male and female, but they are identically marked with red malar, black
bib, spotted chest, orange-ish red under wing etc.

Does anyone know if male and female look the same or different?
