Although my pictures show a male Williamson's Sapsucker (Sphyrapicus thyroideus), the individual observed in Santa Rosa on 29-30 January 2015 is a female (and they look quite different).
This woodpecker is normally found in coniferous forests at higher elevations. The recent sighting in Santa Rosa is only the second time a Williamson's Sapsucker has been documented in Sonoma County!
Here's one more view of this very striking woodpecker:
