Not to put to fine of a point on it but if you will look at the picture of the picture and a picture of an actual flicker of either species you will see that an actual flicker is not anything like the artists rendering. Now as for the "clapper rail" the one in the picture is again not plumaged like the actual bird but does have the conformation and bill color.He did use actual flicker feathers in his art work but the clapper rail does not have a speculum like the one shown.
