Here is the next woodpecker quiz. Can you ID it to species ? Can you say what sex the bird is ?

I guess this is a dendrocopus syriacus based on black tail and small barring (streaking) on belly-sides. I will look more on your page to see if i´m right.
Mattias and Mike, thanks for your comments, and you are both correct. It is a Dendrocopos syriacus - Syrian Woodpecker. Based on black tail lacking white and pink undertail coverts. The "small barring (streaking) on belly-sides" is helpful but not diagnostic. And Mike, that's right, too, you can't sex this bird.
is dedicated to the 10 species of woodpecker (Picidae) that breed in Europe: 9 resident species and the migratory Wryneck. 8 of these 10 also occur outside Europe, with the distribution of Eurasian Three-toed, White-backed, Lesser Spotted, Great Spotted, Black & Grey-headed Woodpeckers stretching eastwards from the Western Palearctic into Asia, whilst Syrian is found in the Middle East & Asia Minor & Wryneck winters in Africa. The global ranges of Green & Middle Spotted Woodpeckers are confined to the Western Palearctic.
I welcome comments, suggestions, photographs, video clips and will credit items used. My aim is to create a non-commercial source for all lovers of the European Picidae. Sincere thanks are due to ALL who have contributed their photos and clips to this blog.

I thought Syrian too, but I don't think you can tell what sex here, can you? Can't see the nape!
