Description
This appears to be a copulating pair of Red-bellied Woodpeckers, but if you look closely at the bird on the bottom in the third photo, it looks like its red crown is solid without a patch of gray like a female would have. Is this just a trick on the lighting? What do you think?

Are you they aren’t fighting? Two males would not be mating.
I guess it might be fighting, it was a while ago so I don’t remember exactly what happened.
*sure
The bird on the bottom does look like a male.
