Grey Woodpecker?

Hello,

 We regularly have the great spotted woodpecker and the  green woodpecker visit out garden but today I saw this one for the first time.....looks very grey to me but my research tells me grey woodpeckers are not in the UK. Any ideas?

  • Can't see your bird very clearly but I suspect it's a juvenile Green Woodpecker.

    Here's a photo of a juvenile and you can see that the green feathers are only partially emerging from the grey fledgling feathers.
