Did we see the ivory woodpecker in the Fells?

This is the strange year for our woods.... It seems that all pine trees decided that it is the time for a renewal and dropped as many pine cones as they could. There is plenty of pine cones on the ground creating a thick carpet on our path. There have been also a lot of large trees coming down during the windy winter days. Very large old trees! The woods do not look healthy. Maybe this is just an impression I have because there is no snow and no leaves on the trees and you can see things better...

I  notices that there have been more woodpeckers working on the trees. Little ones, maybe 4-6in tall. However, on our afternoon dog walk yesterday we saw a large woodpecker! First I heard a strange bird call then when I look up the bird was just above on the tree. It was larger than the normal ones and had a crossed red crest, sort of skinner head and torso, and enough white on the sides to look quite similar to an ivory woodpecker that everybody is looking for... Was it really the ivory one? Of course I checked Wikipedia...

Ivory woodpeckers habitats are quite similar to our unhealthy woods. Apparently they do prefer dead pine trees and a pair could be leaving there. But of course there are other types of woodpeckers that could look similar. For example  Pileated Woodpeckers  are slightly smaller with black torso... I need to bring the camera on our morning walk today and start the hunt! There is an award of 50K for the successful hunt :-) And there is a  picture in the recent Nature magazine showing a group  bird watchers in the woods looking up into the woods with their binocular. Maybe I need to bring binoculars too...
