Seeing this photo of a male Crimson-beliied Woodpecker is exciting because this large, colorful bird is so seldom photographed! Female birds look similar to males, but they have a white band down the side of their neck. It also goes by the name Splendid Woodpecker. It is a forest-dwelling bird that can be found in eastern Panama, Columbia, Ecuador and Peru.
This fine photo was taken in Tapichalaca, Ecuador by Pati Rouzer and it reaches us courtesy of Patty McGann.
