Yes it’s a young Yellow-bellied Sapsucker, molting into adult plumage. An adult male would have a red throat, so I’d guess this was a young female. Nice bird!

Marc, I hope you don't have a repeat of yesterday's disaster. Could you send me a photo of your office building? I might be able to offer more immediate remedies in the event it does. I attached the American Bird Conservancy's *Bird Friendly Building Design*guidelines, which contains numerous mitigation measures for problematic buildings. Your situation with the trees and berries next to mirrored glass is particularly unfortunate. Let's hope you have a better day today.

Unfortunately, there is also a stand of trees that reflect in the glass, not just one berry-producing tree. A banner is a good idea.
