Red-bellied is completely accurate, you just normally don’t see the belly:
a red bellied woodpecker goofily hanging off a branch, showing off the red underside it’s named for
Red-headed was already taken:
a woodpecker with a completely bright red head and a black and white body.

I think it should be renamed “red-capped woodpecker”.
That photo captured one with a very red belly!! The ones in our backyard have just a blush of orange.

I think red-capped would be a good name too! In general I’m a fan of birds having as many common names as makes sense, haha
