Still no red belly.
Yes, the OP's bird is a Red Bellied Woodpecker.
PS: There are many Bird ID sources on the Internet.
Here's a frontal shot I got showing their Red Belly:

One year around the house saw multiple red headed woodpeckers but I don’t think since that one year I’ve seen one since
the red headed woodpeckers are all over the place here in the Sandhills
I can't say I've ever seen a red headed woodpecker up in this area of NC. Used to see the red cockaded woodpecker a lot near our Alabama lease. They had those birds well protected as far as their nests are concerned. Trees were marked with wide white paint and just above the paint was a metal collar about 2 feet wide.
Warning signs were posted nearby not to mess with those creatures.
Not much red at all on them if I remember. They look like a skinny , longer downy woodpecker.

I have not seen a red headed wood pecker in 25 years here. The red bellied are plentiful and daily visitors to my bird feeding for sunflower seeds. I haven't seen a flicker in a decade, I'm not sure what is going on with them.

I saw several Northern Flicker browsing a field at Nicholson Creek game land in January. I had never seen them before and was mesmerized by their greenish gold wings. (Photo not my own)

I see Pileated Woodpecker frequently in Hoke Co. Even on Trail Camera.

The pileated woodpeckers are here throughout the warmer months a lot. I hear them more than seeing them especially the calls. When I have been in the woods with them there are usually smaller woodpeckers and nuthatches following them around taking advantage of the destruction left on the trees
anyone wanting to see a redheaded woodpecker, just take a drive through the Sandhills Gamelands,,, pretty much a guarantee if you keep your eyes open

Had you been over in Pamlico Co near my place about two/three years ago, you could have seen literally hundreds of flickers near my place. I even made a comment to my hunting party what was up with that. As I recall was pretty much an all season event.
