The Choco Woodpecker is a medium-sized species endemic to the Chocó biogeographic region of South America. It is characterized by its dull olive-brown upperparts, pale underparts with streaking, and a red hindcrown in males.
Where to spot
Endemic to the humid lowland and foothill forests of the Chocó region, spanning parts of western Colombia and northwestern Ecuador.
How to spot
Observation requires dedicated effort in the dense Chocó rainforest. Look for its duller, somewhat drab plumage. Listen for its soft, repeated calls and pecking, as it can be easily overlooked.
When to spot
Resident year-round in its restricted tropical habitat. Active during daylight hours, often more visible in the mornings.
