Ha! Congratulations on the flicker, Ulrich. I look forward to your capturing it.
This is a red-headed woodpecker. He/she has a nest in the timber and flies back and forth all day feeding hatchlings: http://www.birds.cornell.edu/bfl/speciesaccts/rehwoo.html

What kind of bird is this? I think I have never seen one.
BTW Now that spring has come, we DO get visits by a Northern flicker!

Ah, now I see the typical woodpecker feet. But it looks kind of squat for a woodpecker--maybe the perspective...
Indeed, this guy/gal is chubby and looks a bit ill-tempered. I believe that is a drop of water on his beak.
