Strickland's Flameback is a distinct woodpecker species, notable for its unique plumage that includes a duller, more olive-green back compared to other flamebacks. It is an arboreal species, adept at climbing tree trunks.
Where to spot
Endemic to the Philippines, found on the island of Mindanao, inhabiting lowland and montane forests, often in primary or well-preserved secondary growth.
How to spot
Look for its less vibrant, more olive-green back and the red crest (male). Listen intently for its unique vocalizations, which are often the first sign of its presence.
When to spot
Like most woodpeckers, it is active during the day. It can be seen throughout the year in its resident forested habitats.
