    Does Any red-bellied woodpecker have yellow between bill and forehead

    I have seen many red-bellied woodpeckers in many states, nad haven't noticed this. But has anyone seen one with yellowish wash between bill and forehead or am I seeing a Golden-fronted? If not, I may have seen Colorado's first Golden-fronted woodpecker last Friday.
