It's not that often that we see this beautiful bird.
Why he is called a Red-bellied woodpecker and not Red headed one is beyond me. Mind you there are extremely dark red ones and these are called red headed woodpecker.
Sweet picture of him. You ask a good question. If I were to name him I would definitely call him a red headed woodpecker. Smile. I wonder if his coloring has changed over the years since he was namef?
