Subject: [NEBirds] normal juvenile downy?
In this photo taken in spring of 2025, I just now noticed that the red on the male juvy extends much further towards the front than depicted in the Peterson Field Guide.  Is this a characteristic of a juvenile male, so that the red will recede further back and narrow in adult plumage?
