Hoffmann's Woodpecker is a medium-sized species of Central America, characterized by its black and white barred back, a pale white belly, a distinct yellow wash on the nape, and a red crown and nape in males.
Where to spot
Found in dry and moist forests, open woodlands, coffee plantations, and suburban areas in Central America, from southern Honduras to Costa Rica.
How to spot
Look for its black and white barred back combined with the yellow nape and red crown (in males). Listen for its loud, chattering calls and rhythmic drumming, which are key to locating it in its habitat.
When to spot
Resident year-round. Active during daylight hours, with a tendency to be more vocal and visible in the early mornings and late afternoons.
