The image is a photograph of a small bird perched on a tree branch. The bird is a downy woodpecker, with a black and white speckled body and a red crest on its head. It has a long, pointed beak and a small, pointed tail. Its wings are slightly spread out and its legs are slightly bent at the knees. The branch it is perched on is thin and brown, and the background is blurred, but it appears to be a wooded area with trees and foliage.
