I was amazed when I discovered this photo because I do not recall ever seeing two species of Campephilus woodpeckers on the same tree, in the same photo! The bird on the left is a female Red-necked Woodpecker. The bird on the right is a male Crimson-crested Woodpecker. This great image is posted here by permission of Michel Giraud-Audine. He took this photo in Kourou, Cayenne in French Guiana.

This is a very cool photo and it provides a nice comparison between C. woodpeckers.
Thanks for sharing = )
I have a so-so photo of a Pale-billed Woodpecker together with a Linneated Woodpecker. You can see the photo on my blog on the Nature Blog Network, The Life of a Painter, http://johnlofgreen.blogspot.com. The post is dated, April 13 2010. Titled More Nostalgia About Mexico. Feel free to use it if you like.
Thanks a lot Dave. John, that is a great photo you have, and thanks for letting me post it here! I will definitely post it in the near future. I cannot recall ever seeing a photo with these two birds together as you've captured them.
Happy New Year!
