Under the low lighting conditions (or even back light) I'd go with Black as the beak and eye appear to be the lightest part of the bird. It also appears to be a larger size 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.

Yes, Black Woodpecker. Actually, the bill of the bird in this photo gives it away. No other picid in Europe has a bill of such proportions.
100% Black Woodpecker.
100% ? Ummmm... can you be sure it is not one of those dummies like the one they put up in Cumbria last year and which fooled a few folks ? :-)
