Many people will ask why it's called a Red-bellied woodpecker because they fail to see the red on the belly which is a faint round spot about the size of a quarter. If you get them at your feeders watch closely and you will see the red spot. The call is distinctive and very unlike the Downy and Hairy woodpeckers.Feb 10, 2017

Interesting the wing white spot looks different!

Mdengraver, it seems the Middle spotted woodpecker lives mainly in Europe, from northern Spain to as far as the Caucasus & Iran. Must be at least a far nephew of the one you spotted! Nice birds anyway
