This is a female Downy Woodpecker. Downys are the smallest woodpeckers in North America. Their diminutive size allows them to forage amongst twigs and shrubs that larger woodpeckers cannot access. JK

I took this pic of a Downy Woodpecker hard at work back in March. If you look close, you can see a fine spray of wood. JK
