No, the Gila Woodpecker is not a type of hawk.  I found a great site
that characterizes living things well.

Gila Woodpeckers (Melanerpes uropygialis) are classified as follows, w/ link:

Kingdom Animalia  -> Phylum Chordata  -> Subphylum Vertebrata  ->
Class Aves  -> Order Piciformes  -> Family Picidae  -> Species
Melanerpes uropygialis

Hawks (Accipitridaes) are classified as follows, w/ link:

Kingdom Animalia -> Phylum Chordata  -> Subphylum Vertebrata  -> Class
Aves  -> Order Falconiformes  -> Family Accipitridae
