I guess the belly is red also, but it looks like it should be red-headed woodpecker. Beautiful capture of the color and the details.

@shutterbug49 actually both birds have red heads but the red headed one has a full cap of red and the red is much darker… here is a link to see the two compared: https://www.reconnectwithnature.org/news-events/the-buzz/difference-red-headed-woodpecker-vs-red-bellied/
