Crimson crested woodpecker, Inírida, Colombia

Very large woodpecker that we could hear from far as it was knocking on this dead tree. The Crimson crested woodpecker is similar to the Lineated woodpecker. The main difference (according to the Colombia birds book) is that the Crimson crested woodpecker has two white streaks connecting like a "V", whereas the streaks of the Lineated woodpecker do not connect.
