Spencer, I'd say you've perfectly described a young Red Headed Woodpecker. If you go to Google's image search page and type in immature red headed woodpecker, you'll see lots of pics that fit your description, including this one: http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=5484960 If this turns out to be your bird, nice find. Always nice to see them in Ohio, as it's not as easy as it used to be to stumble upon them.
