The flicker at the feeder this afternoon seemed to have a gray blue colour to the side of the head and down the neck a ways. I didn't notice ed spot or dark spot or other colour.

Is it my failing eyesight or is it possible that the colouring could be as I saw it today?

Possibly a female or a young bird not finished a moult?
