Red-bellied Woodpecker

When I first started birding I truly wondered why they called a Red-bellied Woodpecker by that name. I always thought that Red-capped might have made more sense. Below is not a terribly good photo, but it really does show the red belly of this bird so I thought it worth posting simply because you so rarely see this birds belly.
