greenthumb99,

Here is a pair of Red-belly Woodpeckers I photographed in my yard. As others said, you can see the gray area atop the female's head. The male, as you can see, has red from front to back on his head.

Sometimes, its hard to see the red belly, but on my female it is visible.

And I see more males than females. I reckon she is tending the nest and babes.
