I just saw a new bird in my yard (6800 ft on mountainside) which was entirely black and white (no red), about 7 inches long, and clinging to the side of a vertical building. Obviously, it was some sort of woodpecker but I'm not sure which one. After consulting the guide, I believe it is a Downy Woodpecker, female. Does this sound right?
