This is one of 15 species in the genus Colaptes which consists of seven live flickers, one extinct flicker (Bermuda Flicker) and 7 woodpeckers. Although it looks totally different, its habits are similar to our Northern Flicker in that it makes most of its living terrestrially. Its range is fairly large across much of southeastern South America. We had ours in the Pantanal.
