Looks a lot like a Pileated woodpecker. Yes, they closely resemble each other in looks.

Yes, but the Pileated woodpecker has a black beak and has less white markings. I spotted a pair of these rare white billed woodpeckers after the hurricanes stirred up all the wildlife during the hurricanes of 2004. Cornell Lab said there were many sitings but people were too busy trying to dig out of there demolished homes to take pictures. I’m glad finally some are being documented. They are not only rare but very shy. Beautiful birds!

The Pileated Woodpecker was very sacred and valuable to my tribe (Yurok; N.Calif.Klamath River) I doubt if the average Joe could tell the difference between the two birds.
