Yes. I know his head is red, not the belly, however that is what the book says it is called.

Very nice, sharp capture. Fortunately it's not the photographer's responsibility to get the red in the right place!

Excellent shot, I love the red bellied. Last year was the first year we have had them. None this year though

That is a very well done shot. Detail, composition, bg all working for me.
Unfortunately for this poor bird, the name red headed was already taken.

A beautiful sharp image. We have them in our yard quite often. They always announce their presence. I'm not sure why they are so noisy, but I enjoy them and continue to try to get an image near the quality of yours.

It get it too now, Red Bellied not Red Breasted. I should have known better. A birder from long ago and a biologist so I should know avian anatomy. But then we don't have that species where I live in California, or any similar Woodpeckers.

Kevin, excellent photo and it is a Red Bellied Woodpecker. Names of our birds at times used to make no sense to me than I realized they only made sense to the person who gave the bird it's name.
