Dryocopus pileatus
Fred, I have updated this spotting with additional ID and reference information. If you have trouble finding such information in the future, please let me know. In the entry for habitat, just enter where you say the bird. It could be a yard, park, etc. You might be interested in the Backyard Birding Southeastern USA Mission. This is a wonderful photo! I always find that woodpeckers are difficult subjects.
I have attached the correct English and scientific names in my suggestion. Fantastic shot of a fantastic bird!
