The Smoky-brown Woodpecker is a medium-sized species of Central and South America, characterized by its dull smoky-brown plumage, paler underparts with subtle barring, and a red hindcrown in males. It blends well into its forest surroundings.
Where to spot
Inhabits humid montane forests and cloud forests from southern Mexico south through Central America to Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, and Peru.
How to spot
Look for its overall smoky-brown appearance as it forages on tree trunks in montane forests. Its subtle coloration can make it hard to spot, so listen for its high-pitched calls and drumming.
When to spot
Resident year-round in its montane tropical habitat. Active during daylight hours, often more conspicuous in the mornings.
