Melanerpes carolinus
Medium woodpecker, black-and-white barred upperparts, pale gray-brown underparts with indistinct red wash on belly. Head has bright red crown and nape, pale brown face. White rump, white wing patches, and white-barred central tail feathers are visible in flight.
Dead Redbud tree in greenbelt that runs through a subdivision.
These photos were taken from my kitchen window, across my yard and part of the greenbelt, so they are a bit hazy.
