White-wedged Piculet

Picumnus dorbignyanus

The White-wedged Piculet is a small woodpecker found in South America. It has a distinctive black and white plumage with a red crown and a short, sturdy bill. This species is often found in subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, where it forages for insects and larvae by pecking at tree bark. It is known for its rapid drumming on trees and its high-pitched calls. The White-wedged Piculet is generally considered to be of least concern in terms of conservation status, as it has a wide distribution and is not facing significant threats.
