Buff-spotted Flameback

Chrysocolaptes lucidus (Scopoli, 1786)

Picidae — Woodpeckers

Buff-spotted Flameback, Chrysocolaptes lucidus, is a woodpecker of the eastern and southern Philippines, breeding in East Visayas and the Mindanao group. It occurs in tropical moist lowland forest with a dense understorey, reaching 1,500 metres above sea level. The species is part of the Greater flameback complex and was once treated as one with several other Philippine flamebacks. Females can be told from the closely related Luzon flameback by a dirty crown and a throat and belly that are heavily marked.
