This is a shot of a bird I got in the valley of Petit Jean on the Cedar Creek Trail. The bird was huge! I'm from Chicago so I've never seen a woodpecker this big in my life! The bird bobbed around looking up the tree and then flew away. I wish I had more footage but my battery was low. I'm going back to Arkansas next month.

Pileated Woodpecker. Don't worry, you're not the first to confuse the two.

The back appears to be solid black, and thus it's a Pileated.
