The West Indian Woodpecker is a medium-sized woodpecker of drier forests including palm groves. Its strongly barred back eliminates all other species in it range except for Northern and Fernandina’s Flickers, but both flickers lack the West Indian Woodpecker’s extensively red nape and hind-crown.
The barring on the back of the Northern Flicker is also far less pronounced than it is on West Indian Woodpecker. West Indian Woodpeckers can be found nesting in palm trees around the resorts on Cayo Coco.
