About Red-bellied Woodpecker (Melanerpes carolinus)

  • Kingdom: Animals
  • Phylum: Chordates
  • Class: Birds
  • Order: Woodpeckers, Barbets, Toucans, and Puffbirds
  • Family: Piculets and Woodpeckers

The red-bellied woodpecker is a medium-sized woodpecker of the family Picidae. It breeds mainly in the eastern United States, ranging as far south as Florida and as far north as Canada. Though it has a vivid orange-red crown and nape it is not to be confused with the red-headed woodpecker, a separate species of woodpecker in the same genus with an entirely red head and neck that sports a solid black back and white belly. The red-bellied earns its name from the pale reddish tint on its lower underside.
