a pop of red

I know I've blipped Northern Flickers many a time, but this one was just begging to be blipped.
I was quietly minding my own business at the kitchen table when I heard his cry. So I thought maybe the bird feeder was empty and he was asking for a refill. But no, there was plenty of seed, and suet, too. He just sat in the tree vocalizing until I got my camera.
Still I was hesitant to take a photo because the light was all wrong, harsh shadows, etc. But suddenly he stuck his head into the sun and his red mustache just popped.
So I relented, and here is today's blip.
