The red-bellied woodpecker, Melanerpes carolinus. I see and hear these pretty woodpeckers all of the time, one of my favorite neighbors! The male has red from the beak all the way back.

A woodpecker is perched on a tree set against a blurred background. The underside of the bird is predominantly off-white, and the back-top of her head is red, and her back feathers are black and white striped.
