A Red-headed Woodpecker (Melanerpes erythrocephalus) hanging on a bird feeder. This woodpecker species' breeding habitat is open country across southern Canada and the eastern-central United States. Adults are strikingly tri-colored, with a black back and tail and a red head and neck. Their underparts are mainly white. The wings are black with white secondary remiges. It is often confused with the Red-bellied Woodpecker.Photo credit: Mdf
