    this reminds me of a pileated woodpecker which is located in North America...i have one living in the woods behind my house and it's such a hard creature to photograph! beautiful capture!

      Thank you Lori, this is actually one of two species from Trinidad that are very similar to pileated woodpeckers, the crimson crested has a mostly red head while the lineated woodpecker is almost identical to a pileated woodpecker. Posted 11 years ago
