Yellow-browed Woodpecker
Piculus aurulentus (Temminck, 1821)
Picidae — Woodpeckers
Yellow-browed Woodpecker, Piculus aurulentus, is a woodpecker of south-eastern Brazil, eastern Paraguay and north-eastern Argentina. It is a resident bird in its range and is tied to humid forest, including mature montane forest, secondary woodland and humid lowland forest. In Brazil it occurs from São Paulo southwards, and it is found at higher elevations there than elsewhere. It is a monotypic species, and some authorities link it with the Golden-green Woodpecker as a superspecies. The female differs from the male in head pattern, while juveniles are duller and less clearly barred below.
