    Default Help with Woodpecker ID

    Saw this guy this morning in a neigborhood park in Melbourne, FL. The red just behind the bill and on the back of the head has me leaning towards Red-Bellied Woodpecker, but the dark streaks on the breast say otherwise (poss just stains?). Wings were black and white. What do you think?

    You are correct Dawn- Red-bellied Woodpecker. I think the dark on the breast is just moisture. The bird looks like an adult female based on the greyish cap.
