Could someone please help me out? For several days now I have seen some sort of a woodpecker on a tree just outside my livingroom window. It is eating from the holes (Already drilled) in a maple tree. It has a black and white spotted back, with a mostly light brown head. It also has a white line over his dark colored eye. I have not had a good look at his underparts because he is always close to the tree. I have noticed that he goes down the tree tail first. The bird appears to be about 6 to 7 inches. After looking through several bird books, Could it be a Immature Yellow-bellied Sapsucker? I would appreiciate any help.
