Colaptes
''Colaptes'' is a genus of birds in the woodpecker family Picidae. The 14 species are found across the Americas. ''Colaptes'' woodpeckers typically have a brown or green back and wings with black barring, and a beige to yellowish underside, with black spotting or barring. There are usually colorful markings on the head. Many of these birds – particularly the northerly species – are more terrestrial than usual among woodpeckers. Historically, there has been considerable uncertainty in assigning woodpecker species to genera and it is only by comparing DNA sequences that it has become possible to confidently place many of the species. Taxonomy The genus ''Colaptes'' was introduced by the Irish zoologist Nicholas Aylward Vigors in 1825 with the northern flicker (''Colaptes auratus'') as the type species. The name is from the Ancient Greek κολάπτης (''kolaptēs'') meaning "chiseller". The genus forms part of the woodpecker subfamily Picinae and has a sister r ...

Northern Flicker
The northern flicker or common flicker (''Colaptes auratus'') is a medium-sized bird of the woodpecker family. It is native to most of North America, parts of Central America, Cuba, and the Cayman Islands, and is one of the few woodpecker species that migrate. Over 100 common names for the northern flicker are known, including yellowhammer (not to be confused with the Eurasian yellowhammer (''Emberiza citrinella'')), clape, gaffer woodpecker, harry-wicket , heigh-ho, wake-up, walk-up, wick-up, yarrup, and gawker bird. Many of these names derive from attempts to imitate some of its calls. It is the state bird of Alabama (known by its colloquial name "yellowhammer.") Taxonomy The English naturalist Mark Catesby described and illustrated the northern flicker in his book ''The Natural History of Carolina, Florida and the Bahama Islands'' which was published between 1729 and 1732. Catesby used the English name "Gold-winged Wood-pecker" and the Latin ''Picus major alis aureis''. W ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Gilded Flicker
The gilded flicker (''Colaptes chrysoides'') is a large-sized woodpecker (mean length of ) of the Sonoran, Yuma, and eastern Colorado Desert regions of the southwestern United States and northwestern Mexico, including all of Baja California, except the extreme northwestern region. Golden-yellow underwings distinguish the gilded flicker from the northern flicker found within the same region, which has red underwings. Taxonomy Four subspecies are recognized: * The Cape gilded flicker (''C. c. chrysoides'') resides in southern Baja California. * The brown gilded flicker (''C. c. brunnescens'') resides in northern and central Baja California. * Mearns' gilded flicker (''C. c. mearnsi'') resides in extreme southeastern California to Arizona and northwestern Mexico. * The Mexican gilded flicker (''C. c. tenebrosus'') resides in northwestern Mexico from northern Sonora to northern Sinaloa.

Bermuda Flicker
The Bermuda flicker (''Colaptes oceanicus'') is an extinct woodpecker from the genus ''Colaptes''. It was confined to Bermuda and is known only by fossil remains dated to the Late Pleistocene and the Holocene. However, an old travel report by explorer Captain John Smith from the 17th century may also refer to this species. Extinction Though most material is from Late Pleistocene deposits unearthed by Storrs L. Olson, David B. Wingate and others in Admirals Cave, the Wilkinson Quarry and the Walsingham Sink Cave in Hamilton Parish in Bermuda in 1981, there is one bone, a tarsometatarsus from a juvenile, which is from a Holocene layer in Spittal Pond. This fact, and an old travel report by Captain John Smith from 1623, may give evidence to the possibility that this species just may have persisted until at least the early colonization of Bermuda. Smith wrote: References Bermuda flicker Birds of Bermuda Extinct animals of North America Bird extinctions since 1500 Fossil t ...

Grey-crowned Woodpecker
The grey-crowned woodpecker (''Colaptes auricularis'') is a bird species in the woodpecker family (Picidae). It was formerly placed in the genus ''Piculus'' (Benz ''et al.'', 2006). The scientific name ''auricularis'' means "eared", an appearance created by the confluent, fine patterning of the species' head. It is endemic to the Pacific slope of Mexico. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist montane forests. References * Benz, Brett W.; Robbins, Mark B. & Peterson, A.
