I'd lean to the flicker camp, based on the apparent spotting on the sides
or flanks and general shape, and while it appears dark it is not black(ish)
looking. But I also feel the image quality makes it challenging to say
anything with certainty. For what it is worth, perspective-wise, there are
no Colorado Bird Records Committee accepted records of Black-backed in
Colorado.
