Imitator (Dendrocopos major)

As usual, I was looking for Nutcrackers at the cemetery, but that day I couldn't seem to find any. Finally, I saw something moving at the far side of one of the pines. I walked around the row of pines to check it out and saw something black-headed and large-billed making Nutcracker moves on a pine cone. But when I came closer and the bird lifted its head, it wasn't a Nutcracker after all! Good thing I checked before ticking my eBird list ;)

Great close-up of this woodie on its claimed pine cone. The pine branches on each side of the woodie really frames it nicely! TFS!
