Little Woodpecker (Veniliornis passerinus) - 22Aug2022

Its true this is a small woodpecker, but its family mates include Piculets which are even smaller.  It has a huge range across most of South America, including Brazil which is where I saw several of them.  Its genus Veniliornis includes 14 species of small woodpeckers ranging across Central and South America of which I have only seen the Little WP and the Yellow-vented WP.  This one was in the Pantanal area.
