Yellow-bellied Sapsucker
Sphyrapicus varius
ID Notes 6
The Yellow-bellied Sapsucker, Sphyrapicus varius,is a small woodpecker that is relatively common in Western New York. Their bodies are mostly black and white, and their faces are boldly colored. Both sexes have a red forehead, and males also have a bright red throat. They have a long white stripe along the wing, and bold black-and-white stripes that curve from the face toward a black chest and white or yellowish underparts. Juveniles lack the bold coloration of adults. They have a brown wash all over and fine spotting on the crown. Sapsuckers are known for drilling rows of shallow holes in trees to access the sap within.
