Grey-faced Woodpecker close-up

Here is a nice close-up image of a Grey-faced (aka Grey-headed) Woodpecker male. This species ranges from Europe right across Eurasia to SE Asia with many races, some visually very distinct. The nominate Picus canus canus occurs in Europe. Photo taken near Traisen, Austria, by Thomas Hochebner.
