This bird is one of a kind on our property, which is in the hills of Becket Massachusetts. We have hundreds of finches of every type and many other birds, but I have never seen this one. He is larger than a finch, even, perhaps, larger than a purple finch. He has a finch shaped head and beak, several black and white stripes on his head, a white chin, a short forked tail, no other colors,except a drab brownish black on his wings. He is a loner with fairly long legs and will cling to any feeder and even eat upside down. I finally got some not so great pictures.

I have identified the yellow shafted flicker in my backyard . We have several of them feeding on the lawn. It looks like they are pulling out grubs.
