Help with a woodpecker

Post by MtnAg08 »

Saw this one on a walk this evening in Avon, CO. I've seen a bunch of Hairy, Downy and Red-Naped Sapsuckers this summer but this one doesn't seem to quite match any of those. Knowing me, it's probably just an immature/female of one of those three. Can't see it in the photos but it looked like there was a hint of yellow on the breast/belly. Hoping somebody is familiar with it. Thanks!

While not a bird, I am including a bonus picture of the beaver I saw that was having dinner under the tree I saw the woodpecker.
