Red-Bellied Woodpecker

Southeast US. Finally got this fella at our patio. I’ve seen him hanging out at the edge of the woods where the other suet block is, but he finally got brave enough for us to see him up close! What a pretty guy.

Ornithologist (sees a bird with a bright red head): yes, let’s call it red-bellied bird. I am a scientist. Logic. Science. Yeah…
Their bellies have such a tiny red spot and it’s so hard to see, I’ve always been puzzled about this bird being named as such.
