It seemed injured and was in the road. I moved it to a grassy area, hoping it was just stunned.

Observation is for the predator. I watched and photographed this bird " [...] stuffing nuts and other edible items in crevices, tree cavities, or under bark." as described here https://abcbirds.org/bird/red-headed-woodpecker/ and can confirm it. Observation of the bird stashing a nut will be shared in due course.

Partner took a pic for me, but it's on a busy sidewalk, so it's only this angle. Note splash of red on top breast area. Window strike is likely culprit.
