Thank you very much for the ID and the link The Well-read Naturalist

That's the view I needed - thanks!

I added a new photo, maybe it can help ID

I can't see the field marks in the photos that I need to see for a positive identification clearly enough. It's either Hoffmann's Woodpecker or Golden-fronted Woodpecker. Does it have a white rump patch?
