Beautiful Woodpecker

The Beautiful Woodpecker is an attractively patterned woodpecker endemic to the forests and woodland edges of northwestern Colombia. Males have bold black-and-white barring on the back, a red cap, and yellow wash on the underparts. It forages on tree trunks and branches for insects, larvae, and fruits.

Black-headed Woodpecker

The Black-headed Woodpecker is a medium-sized woodpecker with a distinctive glossy black head and neck, green back and wings, and a contrasting red rump. It inhabits open woodland, deciduous forest, and forest edges from Myanmar through Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam. It forages on tree trunks and branches for wood-boring beetles, ants, and other insects, excavating with its strong bill.
