Dinopium everetti

The Everett's Flameback, scientifically known as Dinopium everetti, is a woodpecker species found in the Philippines. It is characterized by its striking plumage, with a black head, white throat, and vibrant golden-yellow back and wings. This medium-sized woodpecker is known for its rhythmic drumming on trees as it forages for insects and larvae. It primarily inhabits lowland and montane forests, where it can be found in open woodlands, forest edges, and clearings. The species is known for its distinctive call, a series of loud, rapid notes. While the conservation status of the Everett's Flameback is currently assessed as Least Concern by the IUCN, ongoing deforestation and habitat loss pose potential threats to its population.
