Choices are Syrian or Great Spotted WP. The post-aurical stripe isn't visible, but the deep red rather than ligter red or even pinkish coloring on the abdomen towards the tail makes me think it’s a Great Spotted WP. Also the red seems to cover a larger area of the abdomen(up to the legs)than in Syrian WP. Maybe even the same individual posted on Feb. 25? It is the exact same tree and photographer.
Hallo Robin, you are allright, it is the same tree - but the foto posted on Feb. 25 showed a male (taken on Feb. 25 2008) whereas the mistery bird is a female (of course not visible on this foto), taken on March 9 2008. Grettings Thomas Hochebner
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.

Robin
Correct Robin, a Great Spotted. Another factor is all the white in the outer tail.
