A male pileated woodpecker of unusual color (partly leucistic?) has been coming occasionally to our suet feeder. He has brownish primaries, terminating in yellowish-brown tips, and a mostly brown rump which is visible mainly when he flies. After missing his visits for several weeks, I was able to get the attached photo (taken through a screened window) that shows some of these color variations.
