Nope red-bellied.

Red-headed is compltetly red from the neck up.

I believe Woody Woodpecker was a Pileated Woodpecker.

(Do I know my peckers or what..)

I see no red belly

The most common woodpecker in the Southeast, the Red-bellied Woodpecker is a familiar sight at bird feeders and in backyards. Yes, its belly is covered in a light red wash. But this woodpecker is easier to spot by the red on the back and top of its head.

That is a male red bellied woodpecker. His crown comes all the way over the top of his head to the top of the beak where as a females would stop at the top of nap of the head. It is very difficult to see the red belly on these guys. I mostly look at the lores or cheeks to id them.

And yes Woodie was a pileated woodpecker
