stripe on the back and long bill. The female does not have a red patch
on the back of the head.

The white stripe down the middle of the black back pretty much tells you it's either a Downy or Hairy Woodpecker, and the red patch signifies a male.
The Hairy Woodpecker's bill is at least as long as its head, and thicker than the small sliver-like bill of the Downy Woodpecker, this is a good way to not confuse yourself with the Hairy Woodpecker.
The Downy Woodpecker and the Hairy Woodpecker both have white backs rather than the black and white ladder found on the Red-cockaded Woodpecker.
The Downy is a small, 6-inch black and white woodpecker. Males have a small red patch on the nape. The Hairy Woodpecker is similar, but it is larger (about 9 inches) with a larger bill.
In North America the Downy woodpecker is (six and a half inches long), the larger hairy woodpecker; the red crested pileated woodpecker or logcock , about 17 in.
