Nice shot! We don't see a lot of them in our neck of the woods.

Ladder-backed? I thought the red bellied had a red head that came forward over the head almost to the beak. This guy only has the red stripe on the back of his head, which would indicate a ladder-backed.

Female red bellied has the gap in the red like the one shown. Whichever it is, excellent image as always

Ladder-backed have a dark face with white through it. We do not have them in my area.

It is a female Red-bellied.

I don't think I've ever seen a ladder back here in PA, but if I did the black lines on the face would keep me from confusing it with the red bellied. They really stand out.
