Beautiful, the one on the left looks like he prepared himself to grab the tree.

Snapped on the golf course this morning a pair of downy or hairy?
Downys, both.
Downy Woodpecker have black stripes under the tail as shown on the woodpecker on the right side of the tree.
A Hairy Woodpecker is all white under the tail,
(no black stripes ).

I found it's easy to distinguish between a Downy and a Hairy woodpecker by looking at the proportion of the beak to the head. The Downy has a small beak compared to the Hairy, whose beak is 1/2 to 3/4 the length of the head.
