Also, in the same paragraph in Cornell's BNA Online, "A Hairy Woodpecker in New York that had white areas replaced by brown (LaFrance 1983) might have been stained, although genetically brown-breasted individuals are characteristic of some Central American and Pacific Northwest populations.
Again, I referenced: Jackson, Jerome A., Henri R. Ouellet and Bette J. Jackson. 2002. Hairy Woodpecker (Picoides villosus), The Birds of North America Online (A. Poole, Ed.).
