This little #Goldenfrontedwoodpecker is either molting and embarrassed, or trying to become one with this seed bell. "Resistance is futile..."

From earlier this week in near 100 degree weather, McAllen, TX.

๐ŸŒŽ Golden-fronted woodpecker (Melanerpes aurifrons) 

The golden-fronted woodpecker has a gray-brown head and body, black-and-white barred wings, and a black tail. Males boast a red crown and golden-orange to yellow nape, while females have a grayish crown and paler yellow nape. A yellow belly patch is often present.
This non-migratory species is found from southwestern Oklahoma through central Texas, south into Mexico, and parts of Central America to Nicaragua. They inhabit dry woodlands, brushlands (especially mesquite), and often urban/suburban areas.
Golden-fronted woodpeckers are active foragers, pecking and gleaning insects from tree trunks and branches, but also consuming fruits and nuts. They are vocal, often heard calling loudly, particularly in early spring when establishing territories. They are socially monogamous, with both sexes excavating nest cavities in trees or poles. 2.5 Flash (Edited)

Twelve subspecies are recognised.

Conservation status: Least Concern (IUCN 3.1)
