- Veniliornis lignarius
Picoides lignarius
Dryobates lignarius
Identification
15–16 cm (6-6¼ in)
Male
- Black forehead and crown
- Some streaking on crown
- Red (or reddish-orange) nape; lacking in the female
- Whitish face with black stripe through the eye
- Black and white bars on upperparts
- White spots on wings and wing coverts
- White under wing coverts
- Yellowish underparts
Distribution
South America: found in the arid highlands of Bolivia to southern Chile and southern Argentina
Taxonomy
Recent results will place this species in genus Veniliornis or in genus Dryobates instead of the traditional placement in Picoides.
Subspecies
Clements recognizes these subspecies[1]:
- V. l. puncticeps: dry inter-Andean valleys from south-central Bolivia to northern Argentina (northern Salta)
- V. l. lignarius: arid highlands from northern Argentina (central Salta) to southern Chile and southern Argentina
These two subspecies are rumored to differ in voice!
Habitat
Humid open forests, woodland and dense scrub.
Behaviour
Breeding
The nest is a tree hole, drilled out by their strong bill. The clutch consists of 3-4 white eggs.
Diet
Their diet is little recorded, but appears to consist almost entirely of insects and their larva.
