The Sulawesi Woodpecker is a small, endemic species to the island of Sulawesi, Indonesia. It is characterized by its dull olive-brown plumage, paler underparts, and a red cap in males.
Where to spot
Endemic to the island of Sulawesi, Indonesia, found in tropical moist lowland forests, lower montane forests, and occasionally in disturbed areas.
How to spot
Look for its duller, olive-brown plumage as it forages on smaller branches and tree trunks in its island habitat. Listen for its soft, rather uninspired calls and light pecking sounds.
When to spot
Resident year-round in its tropical habitat. Active throughout the day, often more vocal and visible in the cooler parts of the morning.
