Red-bellied Woodpecker.  As you can see there is little or no red on its belly, and is therefore poorly named.  This woodpecker is more common than it was in the past and it has adapted well to feeders.  It prefers sunflower seeds and suet and is quite aggressive.  It is one of the few birds that can chase a squirrel off the feeder.
