Picoides Pubescens
Black head and patterns on wings. Underbelly is white. Presumably a female since no red on head. It was eating from feeders with nuthatches, creepers, and squirrels.
Forest near a meadow in the Marshlands Conservancy near the Long Island Sound, Rye, New York.
After comparing it to the Hairy Woodpecker, the shortness of it's beak led me to decided that it was a downy instead

Nice pose,
I love his expression!
That first picture is cool, like he is saying "Who is this taking my picture?"
