Quiz woodpecker 20

What is this species. And sex ? And why ? Photo taken by Julia Burton in Hungary in October 2008.

  1. Syrian Woodpecker? Pale red undertail, lacks the black characteristic "ear line" on the head.

  2. That is right. And another helpful feature, especially as it is unclear on this photo whether the post-auricular stripe crosses the cheek or not, is the outer tail feather that is visible. It is almost all black, with just a white dot.
