UPDATE----Bird I.D.?

 Caught this visitor this morning....any help in providing an identification?

 email me at timothylennox@charter.net please.


UPDATE: A visitor emailed to say it is a yellow bellied woodpecker...but in comparing photos, I believe he is thinking of a yellow bellied sapsucker, as in the photo below?

    I think your visitor intended to say red-bellied woodpecker.

      This bird I.D. business is tricky...I am sure it is one of those, but the sapsucker and the woodpecker are similar in appearance and as usual there is a big difference between male and female.
