| Yellow-browed Woodpecker Piculus aurulentus (aka White-browed Woodpecker) |
||||
 |
Brazil The Yellow-browed Woodpecker is considered Near-threatened by Birdlife International given the reduction in its Atlantic Forest habitat. It is found in south-east Brazil and in adjacent Paraguay and Argentina. See the distribution map at xeno-canto. |

It has a very colourful head with the male coloured red crown / yellow / black / yellow / red malar stripe / yellow throat. The female seen in photo 1, lacks the red of the male except on the
nape although there is also a hint of red in the malar stripe. Both sexes have greeny-brown upperparts
and underparts with dark stripes on white.
I must admit that alternative name of "Yellow-browed" rather than "White-browed" makes a lot of sense to me. |
