Woodpecker in the rain

No matter how hard it rains I don't think I've ever seen a bird looking wet before but this Great Spotted Woodpecker (Dendrocopos major) that visited one of my feeders today looked distinctly damp!

When you don't see the tail he looks quite round and yes, a little bit like a sparrow.
