I think that it is just a downy woodpecker with a deformed bill. Normally
the mandibles cross but the bill is the wrong shape for a hairy which has a
longer bill but pointed not fat like this bird.

Am Interested in thoughts on this woodpecker.
Size and bill length look like Hairy Woodpecker.
However, The dark spots on the sides of the edges of the tail are atypical
for a Hairy woodpecker (except apparently the Newfoundland Subspecies but
believe that has a differently barred back)

Thoughts? Anybody know a woodpecker specialist?
