      A small woodpecker found on a tree. Merlin says it’s a red bellied woodpecker, but I cant find and any pictures that look similar. It appeared frozen, it didn’t really move when I got closer (moved head). Found in Bergen county, NJ C96C5259-2D8F-4469-A688-8F5F1388876B7069B74C-F5FE-4544-BA4C-ED03242B69555E80963C-7B26-4E2C-80BC-98CE16AF191C

      Looks to me like a fledgling Red Bellied Woodpecker. Nice photo too.
