Thanks.
I did a little levels & curves, but it was so twitchy even the slightest
adjustment just blew out the highlight and overpowered the bird.
I'm still going to work on it, but I so rarely get anything worth posting I
thought I'd go with what I have for now.
He was in deep shade. Looking out the window, the leaves that show up as light
green in the photo are about the the tone of the dark green leaves. The dark
green leaves appear almost black.

Great shot, but it could be better with a levels adjustment to brighten the
bird without killing the background highlights.

I was at the sink yesterday morning and saw this little guy through the window.
I managed to get the window open without spooking him and get a few frames
using my 80-200/2.8.
I saw him again today while I was making breakfast.
I was again able to get the window open without spooking him. He's only about 10
feet away from the window & got a bunch of shots with the 80-200/2.8. While I
was getting the 600/4 set up a squirrel came along and chased him off.
But he came back.
He's almost too close to photograph with the 600/4 because the tree that vine
is growing on is only about 10 feet from the house.
I think he may be a "Ladderback" woodpecker, but if someone knows differently
let me know.
