Guadalupe flicker

Colaptes mexicanoides

The Guadalupe flicker is a woodpecker species endemic to Guadalupe Island off the coast of Baja California, Mexico. It is a medium-sized bird with a distinctive barred pattern on its back and a red patch on the nape. This species is known for its strong association with oak woodlands and pine-oak forests, where it forages for insects and excavates nest cavities in dead trees. The Guadalupe flicker is considered vulnerable due to its restricted range and threats from habitat degradation and introduced species on the island.

Habitat: Oak woodlands and pine-oak forests
