I have this Woodpecker that is a regular at my bird feeder. Can someone ID it for me, please?

This Woodpecker was also fighting with one of the resident Mourning Doves.

Hey Gardenpom! Why do they call them Red-Bellied? They don't appear to have a red belly.

Here's a belly shown here.

Wow! Great photos, gardenpom! I see that little red belly on those birds! Cool!

Thanks for the ID. I saw the birds at the feeder tonight before dark. :-)

I have a pair that visit my suet feeder. They have been coming for a few years and have raised several youngsters. They are fun to watch.
