Woodpeckers: Hairy vs Downy

Here are two lookalikes that I have trouble telling apart until they're side-by-side. The Hairy Woodpecker is the larger of the twins with a much longer bill than the smaller version of the two, the Downy Woodpecker.

Recently I was lucky enough to get a perfect shot of the two together sharing a 
Giant Sugar Pinecone suet feeder. ♥
