Another Downy Baby

I have a second baby downy in my yard. This time it's a little boy. You can tell it is male by the red. You can tell it is a juvenile because the red is on top of the head instead of the nape of the neck. He was hanging on tight to the crepe myrtle & waiting for a parent to come and feed him. Something spooked him & he flew away before a parent showed up.
