I keep track of intergrade Northern Flickers in my yard because I have so many I'm constantly tripping the ebird filter on the counts. Here are the individuals for this winter so far that I can distinguish.
Northern Flickers typically are either Red-shafted (North America west of the Rocky Mountains) or Yellow-shafted (North America east of the Rocky Mountains) but there's a large zone of overlap where they interbreed. The offspring are known as intergrades, not hybrids, because they're still the same species but a mix of subspecies types.

Northern Flickers are seemingly everywhere all of the sudden.
They are moving south, which is strange for Midwestern woodpeckers. Most species tend to stay put for the winter.
