“might be a male hairy woodpecker or possibly a red headed.”

That’s a pileated woodpecker, and they’re just too cool. Very big and have a most delightful giggly, goofy call. Woody the Woodpecker was patterned after a pileated. They don’t peck on trees; they POUND on them. Seriously.
my comment was for someone who described seeing a white with a red head woodpecker around his house. I know my picture was of a pileated, I took it - we have had them for 35 years. They have an amazing call and when they come to feed they cluck like a chicken.
