I think this may be a Lewis's woodpecker. Never seen them before. This is on the eastern side of the Sierra Nevada, south end of the Carson Valley. Sorry about the quality. Thanks for any help :)

Looks good for Lewis's Woodpecker to me.

Thanks cavuken. It was there the day before, and I didn't take the shot. At first I thought it was a hummingbird when I shot it, but once I saw the size, I had no idea. Very colorful for a woodpecker.
