White-throated Piculet

Picumnus limae

The White-throated Piculet (Picumnus limae) is a small woodpecker found in South America. It is characterized by its olive-green upperparts, white throat, and distinctive black and white markings on the head. This species is often found in humid forests, where it forages for insects and larvae by pecking and probing into tree bark. The White-throated Piculet is known for its rapid drumming and distinct calls, often heard echoing through the forest. While it is not currently considered to be globally threatened, habitat loss and deforestation are potential threats to its populations.
