Ribbons Bows

Help identifying Woodpecker or Sapsucker type bird I saw today?

Here is the description, it was too skittish to get a pic. It was very mottled-brown and speckled, and had an irridescent bluish-green colored breast. It was large, about the size of an adult red-headed woodpecker, and acted like a woodpecker. It was in my hanging platform feeder feasting on pecans. I live 30 miles north of Atlanta, GA.

I want to say it sounds like a Flicker. Google to find a image. They are rather large, and are found across America. They resemble a woodpecker, but have completely different mannerisms. They tend to find food on the ground, they love ants and other small insects but rarely pound in wood to find them (they are capable of it). The will come to a feeder but are skittish when they do. They are a bit antisocial and do not hang out in flocks.
