Sphyrapicus varius
Backyard visitor!
Thank u for the information and name i learn alot of this site ...
The white throat indicates this is a female Yellow-bellied Sapsucker.
This species drills a line of holes into the limbs and trunks of trees and returns later when the "wells" fill with sap (seen in your photo).
