Found this guy at the base of a big tree on the golf course. I'm glad I had the camera with me. He didn't seem to mind us being about 15 feet away on the cart path.
It appears that this is a red bellied woodpecker.

Can someone tell me why? Because I don't see any red on that belly.

I believe if you could pick him up and turn him over, you would see a bit of red shading on his underside. Great pic!
You can't quite see it in this photo but they do have like Roan said a bit of red shading on their belly.
Nice capture.
Sometimes the red is so faint...just a light wash. I wonder if breeding season makes it redder? Anyway, a terrific shot! Sharp, crisp...my favorite kind. And you got him collecting nesting material it appears. Way to go!
Fantastic shot! Very nice!
This is a great capture. Look here at my blog...it will show the red.
Wonderful shot! The red is usually so far down on his belly that it's rarely seen.
Great shot !!
