Pileated. Porcupines eat the bark of live trees whereas woodpeckers eat larva and other insects out of mostly dead trees by pecking holes in it. That and the size of the chips indicate pileated. We have had a pair in our woodlot every year since we moved here 16 years ago and they constantly reduce my dead trees and branches nearly to sawdust quickly in our woodlot. Love watching them hammer away.
