Red-bellied Woodpecker
Melanerpes carolinus
ID Notes 4
The Red-bellied Woodpecker, Melanerpes carolinus, is similar in size to the Hairy Woodpecker. It has a boldly black-and-white striped back and is pale on the underside. Males have a red cap and nape. Females have a red nape, but lack the red cap. There is a wash of red on the belly, but this is often obscured by white feathers and may not be visible. It is often misidentified as a Red-headed Woodpecker because of the red cap. However, the Red-headed Woodpecker is a different species with an entirely red head.
