Hmm, looking proud, yes, she is.
I think though it may be a juvenile female Hairy Woodpecker based on size of beak.

Thank you. I thought it was a hairy too but from what I've read the hairy has no spotting on the white outer tail feathers.

Nice.

Thank you.

Hmm, you could be right. In my backyard we have both showing up so it is easier to see based on their physical sizes.

I used All About Birds and did their side by side comparison so if I'm wrong I'll just blame them. I'm certainly not an expert.
