“The northern flicker is a large brown woodpecker. It has a white tail with black bars and a black tip, a light brown to off-white breast with black to brown spots. it has a black "bib" on its upper chest. Males have a black or red "mustache" that runs from its bill down to its cheek.” -https://nhpbs.org
The Northern Flicker can be found in most parts of the US and the more southern provinces of Canada. It can be found in mountains, forests, parks, and wooded areas.
It does not say it in the name but the Northern Flicker is a woodpecker they live in holes that they make in trees.
