Nice pick, do you know which pecker this beast is? It doesn't match anything in my bird book. I'd like to see more pics of it.

I don't know what it is. I found it in the Phoenix area of AZ. I'm not much of a "birder", but they make nice pictures. Here's another.
I haven't really begun to post process these, so excuse the inconsistancy in color temps, sharpness, etc.

Nice shots! It's a Gila Woodpecker (http://www.birds.cornell.edu/programs/AllAboutBirds/BirdGuide/Gila_Woodpecker.html).

Right you are Jay, I was mistakenly looking at Sibley's guide to Eastern North America.
