Looks like a woodpecker

I caught sight of a bird that has the markings of a Red-Bellied woodpecker, but rather than being black and white, it was brown. Any ideas of what this really might have been?

    It could have been a Flicker, they are more brown/tan with black stripes. They are also a bit bigger then the Red-Bellied Woodpecker. The juvenile R-B Woodpecker has a brown head but still has the zebra-striped back.

    A friend of mine somewhere out in Rockingham says he's seen flickers in his backyard recently. Where did you spot this one?
