What a lovely picture of this bird--congratulations! However, with the horizontal stripes on the back and the red over the top and back of the head leaving white cheeks, I think perhaps you have a Red-bellied Woodpecker here. It seems a misnomer, but the Redheaded Woodpecker has solid black and white on its back and an amazing red helmet that not only covers its entire head but also dips below the neck. The "red" on the Red-bellied W. is but a token smudge on the belly.
