  1. OK this one I'm sure about!
    Notice the black and white patch on the otherwise entirely red head combined with the dark throat, that's the mark of a male Crimson-crested Woodpecker. Lineated of either sex would have a white stripe starting at the base of the bill and crossing the entire head.
