CLOSED: Woodpecker Identification

Copperas Cove, TX(Zone 8a)

I've two different types of woodpeckers that have been showing up at my feeders here. One that I've finally identified is a Red Bellied Woodpecker, the other I can't. Their both very skittish and I know this isn't the best picture but maybe someone can help identify this one.

Based on size, I would say this is a Downy Woodpecker. They are the smallest woodpecker I believe.

Thanks, looking at the Cornell Ornithology Lab pictures that's what it appears to be. I'll close this thread then. Also had some red-winged blackbirds at my feeders this morning. Since I have the only feeders in the whole neighborhood they all seem to be flocking here for food.
