CLOSED: Is this a Nuttall's Woodpecker?

Manzanita, OR(Zone 8b)

Not very good photos, but I was wondering if this was a Nuttall's Woodpecker?

Duc,

I'm no expert; but don't rule out the possibility of it being a Ladder-Backed Woodpecker. It and the Nuttall's Woodpecker look VERY similar; but the Nuttall's has more black on it's face.

Maybe Resin will be able to tell for sure

Here's a pic of a Ladder-Backed Woodpecker from my area.

Nuttall's for me too. Note the less extensive red, only on the back of the head, compared to NM_J's pic.

Duc, What were you doing in my backyard today? I had the same bird and couldn't get any kind of
decent picture. LOL What a pretty bird and the picture is nice too. :)
