_MG_0320 Downy Woodpecker?

Just moved the suet feeder to a different spot, since it had been ignored for the week since I put it up. This woodpecker seemed absolutely mesmerized when she found it. Just hung on staring at it absolutely still for several minutes, then began to poke. At ISO 400, shutter speed would be too slow to stop the activity. Hopefully, when the sun comes around I'll be able to get higher shutter speed. Flash would be nice, but I'm shooting through glass.

He's lovely. I always have the hardest time figuring out the Downy from the Hairy. :(
