Nope. It’s a black/grey with white on his back and wings and a brownish head

Most likely a juvenile phase of a known type of woodpecker.

Was sort of kidding about the elusive Ivory Bill woodpecker. Its supposedly extinct. HOWEVER! There have been unconfirmed sightings and recordings of it down here over in the dense Arkansas swamps. We have bird scientists constantly trying to confirm its existence. It's a huge bird. So, its kind of a joke down here when someone sees a bird they cant identify....typical response is "Is it the Ivory Bill"? Would be cool if they did still exist. But I believe the last confirmed sighting was 80 years ago in the Everglades .
