Woodpeckers Classified!
MOST DETAILED RESPONSE: This is a woodpecker of the Ladder-backed variety. More specifically a Yellow-Bellied Sapsucker. There are very few woodpeckers that have the distinctive red patch on both their crown AND under the chin/neck area. Also the longitudinal wing stripe is characteristic to the sapsucker family.
ADDED INFO: It’s a Yellow-bellied Sapsucker. My book states the male is the only Missouri woodpecker with a red chin patch.
Pileated Woodpecker
The responses here were not as detailed or as formal, but those who responded were unanimous in the classification.
