This very cooperative little chap allowed me to get very close. This is an iPhone image capture made using the zoom feature. The image seriously degrades the more you zoom so I don't think any nature magazines will be calling to ask about using this photo on the cover.
I sent the photo to my friend Dawne who replied with:
'A male Pileated Woodpecker! The males have a red malar stripe of
feathers just behind the beak. In the female these feathers are black.'
