Bird ID ?


This guy came to visit this morning. He announced him/herself by hammering on the neighbors roof for awhile.

Have quite a few around Nopolo/golfcourse.
Don't they usually have a red spot on top of their head?
When we still had the 9 ft C band dishes, one would wake us about every morning at daybreak with his hammering on the dish.:biggrin::biggrin:
They are quite comical.

Both are Gilas. Male has the red cap.
