This red headed woodpecker is not a Red-Headed Woodpecker!

This woodpecker definitely has a red head, but it is not at all like the Red-Headed Woodpecker photos I see on the Internet. Those do have red heads and breasts but have an all white breast, which the one in my photo does not have. The only woodpecker like it in my "Birds of Oregon" book is the Red-Breasted Sapsucker. It was spotted at Alton Baker Park.
