there are a number of Ladder-backed woodpeckers of which this is the Red-Bellied Woodpecker (not what I would have named it though) Centurus Carolinus, the only one of the group in our neck of the woods up here in Maryland - the red, head markings are a bit ambiguous as to the sex, for a full red cap is male, and a red back of head/neck is female, while this bird has a few bits of coloration, but my guess is female (gifted birders may give me a educational comment on this I hope)
