Another bird from the Pantanal.
This is a female Pale-crested Woodpecker (Celeus lugubris). It is a species of bird in the Picidae family. It is found in Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, and Paraguay. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical dry forests and subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests. The male has a red stripe on the cheek.
It’s similar to the Blond-crested Woodpecker, but has chestnut-brown underparts and upper tail coverts. Wings barred.

Thanks for bringing us this unusual bird. Though quite noisy and a little OF it is an interesting bird! TFS and Cheers, Klaus

Hello Peter,
I didn't know that there was so many species of woodpeckers and I think that this is the first time I see this one! This is a very nice bird that you captured in a fine pose with nice details. I like the blue line above its eye! Thanks,
Claudine
