A first for me. Not a very good picture, but should do for ID purposes. Shot several days ago in the Savannah National Wildlife Refuge, near Savannah, GA. My call is a female Yellow Bellied Sapsucker. Am I right?

You're correct on the yellow bellied sapsucker - nice to get an image of them. Only spotted one once

I noticed some red on the forehead as well as on the throat. So, I'm leaning to a male Yellow-bellied.
