Gene,
Very nice image. I've never seen one of these woodpeckers. Much like our Red-bellied Woodpecker in the east.
Beautiful colors.
Thanks for sharing

Janet, This is a female Golden-fronted.  The males have a red patch on the top of their head.

Spread leg pose is fun. Great catch at the end of the day.
