Participant Photo: Red Bellied Woodpecker with a yellow head
This woodpecker with the yellow head has been coming to my feeder since last winter. It is usually will another Red Bellied Woodpecker. I did see something mentioned here before about Xanthochroism and am wondering if that is the case with this woodpecker.

Thank you for posting as I have observed an identical situation, a red bellied with the red head along with a yellow headed red bellied, in Mt. Pleasant, IA.
