Very nice, and strikingly similar to one of the id images at the Cornell site. Perhaps a young male, since the red extends over the crown but is not solidly red yet.
Some time ago I mentioned that a Pileated visited my yard, the first I have seen in several years. I put a suet feeder with suet and nuts, high up on a tree beyond the reach of the deer, as well as a "woodpecker block,' a compresses brick of fruit nuts and suet. Both disappeared overnight. Only the hanger was left of the woodpecker block, and the suet and peanut totally disappeared, together with the suet holder. I suspect a raccoon got to them. Hard to attract woodpeckers -- or any other unusual birds -- with the deer, crows, raccoons, foxes, opossums and bears around here.
