"Red-bellied" Woodpecker
Why red-bellied? As we plainly can see, this bird does not have a red belly. There are a few spots that look a little darker, but by the end of the mating season, they will have a slightly rosy (glow, lol, sorry) belly color, which distinguishes them from similar-appearing woodpecker species.
