You're welcome, Emma. I've only seen the yellow ones which I have some close ups of

I saw red on its feathers. Do not have a picture though. Thnx Debbie!

There are 2 different types of these flickers - one is a red shafted and one is yellow. I have only seen the yellow here in central Arkansas. The red and yellow show on their tail feathers
