    Hello Thibaud, thanks for the ID. When I originally posted this I identified this woodpecker according to the American Ornithological Society since that was what was already here on Jungle Dragon.. Some authorities put this species in genus Dryobates. It would be nice if there was a consensus! Gary Posted 6 years ago
