Hi, everybody. I picked these 2 feathers up in 2 separate southwestern Maine locations early last fall. Generally mixed woods with a high concentration of conifers. Wondering if anyone can identify them.
Thanks ,

Using https://www.fws.gov/lab/featheratlas/, I suspect something in the woodpecker family. The yellow shaft seems distinctive. Let me know if you figure it out.

Northern (Yellow-shafted) Flicker?
