That's a male Nuttall's Woodpecker.

Correction - noting where you live, that might be a ladder-backed woody. In which case, lucky you - that's a hard bird to see!
Actually, I've moved, now living in the southwest. I just haven't updated the sidebar. I am no expert on birds, but I am fairly sure you were correct the first time.
Well, upon further review (Flickr set) maybe it is a ladderback.
