Red-Bellied Woodpecker

Unless I'm mistaken, this is the red-BELLIED woodpecker, not the red-HEADED woodpecker (which is what I've been calling it). The Red-headed woodpecker - which I've never seen in person - has a distinctive red hood covering his whole head.

Regardless, this here bird in this picture is a frequent visitor to the farm and can be often heard and occasionally spotted, if one is so inclined.
