Hello, I apologize for the poor quality but only had a couple of seconds when my wife spotted this bird from a window to snag a snapshot or two. It looked a bit like a Red Bellied Woodpecker when I first looked at the pictures, but the more I look at it the colors seems wrong (black on face and much more brown in color, which none of the other pictures I looked at online of the woodpecker seemed to match). Any help would be appreciated on pointing me in the right direction for this :)

It's a male, by the way. The black below the bill tells you that. And since you live in the East, it's a yellow-shafted flicker. Birds out West are the red-shafted.
