Thanks, Rick, for all of the help, and kind words.
I also had a similar ID from Ric Carter, on the LUG list. He is in NC.
If it is vouched for by two Ric(k)s, that's good enough for me.

That went out before I finished thinking... You have a beautiful shot of
our red-topped friend!
His lady looks like she's bald.
Her red runs up her neck and then stops. Picks up just a bit above her
beak.
First time I saw her, thought he had been in am accident.

The red bellied is correct... Weird as that sounds. It's more like a rusty
patch, Jim. He's one of our residents, too.

Thanks, Chris. I still didn't get the back markings in sharp focus.
Ric Carter, on the LUG, identified it as a Red-bellied Woodpecker, though
the belly is not really red. From my searches, I think he is correct.

These woodpeckers have been around our area for a number of years, and

have referred to them as Ladder-backed Woodpeckers. However, the
reference
books show the range of the Ladder-backed to be the southwestern US and
Mexico. I can't find a better match of these markings.
Anyone got a better idea?
