Golden-fronted woodpecker (Melanerpes aurifrons), Tulum, Yucatan
... with a taste for low-hanging fruit. Breeds from southern US to Nicaragua. To cognoscenti, this may appear to be a red-bellied woodpecker (M. carolinus), but the distribution of the red-bellied does not remotely touch Yucatan, and local golden-fronteds do in fact have a red belly.
