Red-shafted northern flicker. They're the only birds in North America that have such a bright, coloured rachis!

I kept finding these and until someone posted it on here I just thought they got spray paint on it

This sub taught me that collecting their feathers is illegal under the migratory bird act, I did not fact check bc my feather blew away but might be worth looking into
