The belly is white and brown spotted, the head has a brown crown in front and red behind, a brown spot behind each eye, a brown streak across its lower neck, long pointy bill. The female is the same except her crown is all brown, no red. |
| Diet | Insects, especially beetle larvae. They also eat ants, fruits, and acorns. |
| Feeder Food | Unlikely to visit a feeder. |
| Habitat | Found only in southern Arizona, southwestern New Mexico, and Mexico, they prefer wooded areas. |
| Nesting | They’re cavity nesters and have 2-3 eggs/brood. They’re asynchronously so the chicks from a given brood are of different ages and sizes. |
