This fellow, also known as Melanerpes carolinus, shows up at our suet feeder every winter and every winter I have to look up his name. As this nice photo from Wikipedia will show, he is not all that obviously red-bellied, though the crown of the head is quite strikingly scarlet.

Anyway, trying to relocate him today, I happened on this video at Photobucket and couldn’t resist sharing it.

The “he” I’m using here is generic. The particular woodpecker in this video is not the one that comes to our feeder.
