Hi, i saw this on an island off the west coast of florida. It flew to a tree like a woodpecker, but i could barely see it when i landed so the photograph came out awefull. Anyone got any ideas what it is? I have never seen it before comming from the UK. Probs some common bird that exists all over the USA.

It looks very like a Red-bellied Woodpecker to me.
