What bird is chasing the Blue Jay?

Thanks for your kind words on my last picture. Can you guess what bird is running the blue jay off? It is the boss in our woods.
Location
back yard
Date taken
3/19
Equipment used
Nikon D7000 camera, lens nikon DX, 55 to 300 lens Nikon
Is it a Red-bellied Woodpecker? Interesting size doesn't always mean who is aggressive and who isn't it. I have seen the yellow rump warbler really show some serious bullying.
 
marvelous photo, Ella!!! the woodpecker doesn't seem to like the jay, perfect timing to get this action photo, top notch, many tfs!!!

LOL I knew it was a woodie, but didn't know which one.

What a wonderful behavioural capture to get Ella - you really do see some action in that garden of yours.

Very well done lassie.
