Description
A male Ladder-backed Woodpecker (Picoides scalaris) is peeking out his nest hole from a tree trunk in Choke Canyon State Park near Three Rivers, Texas.
This is a small woodpecker of arid country and because of its size, it is able to make a living even in scrubby growth along dry washes. Closely related to Nuttall's Woodpecker of the Pacific Coast; their ranges meet in California foothills, and they sometimes interbreed there.

Your photo has such fine textures, bark and feathers to enhance the red head and bright eye of the woodpecker.
