While this Red-bellied Woodpecker (
Melanerpes carolinus) is much smaller than a
Pileated Woodpecker, it's still much bigger than the Downy Woodpeckers that usually visit my
suet feeder. Its name is a little misleading since its belly isn't noticeably red while its red cap is very eye-catching. (Other
species of woodpeckers also have red heads, so the more obvious feature of this bird might not make the better name.)
