Mulleripicus
''Mulleripicus'' is a genus of birds in the woodpecker family Picidae. They are found in South and Southeast Asia. The genus forms part of the woodpecker subfamily Picinae and has a sister relationship to the genus ''Dryocopus'' whose species are widely distributed in Eurasia and the Americas. Taxonomy The genus ''Mulleripicus'' was erected by the French naturalist Charles Lucien Bonaparte to accommodate the great slaty woodpecker (''Mulleripicus pulverulentus''). The genus name honours the German naturalist Salomon Müller, The genus belongs to the tribe Picini and is a member of a clade that contains the five genera: ''Colaptes'', ''Piculus'', ''Mulleripicus'', ''Dryocopus'' and ''Celeus Celeus or Keleus (Ancient Greek: Κελεός ''Keleós'') was the king of Eleusis in Greek mythology, husband of Metaneira and father of several daughters, who are called Callidice, Demo, Cleisidice and Callithoe in the ''Homeric Hymn to Dem ...''.

Great Slaty Woodpecker
The great slaty woodpecker (''Mulleripicus pulverulentus'') is a species of bird in the family Picidae. It is found across the Indian Subcontinent and Southeast Asia. A unique and basically unmistakable bird, it is the largest species of woodpecker that is certain to exist today. It is a fairly gregarious species. Range It is found in the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia, ranging across Bangladesh, Bhutan, Brunei, Cambodia, India, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Nepal, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam. It is found in the Greater Sundas, but it does not inhabit Bali. Habitat This species prefers to inhabit areas of primary semi-open, moist deciduous and tropical evergreen forest though can on occasion range into adjacent secondary forests, clearings with scattered tall trees and similar almost park-like areas but do not generally visit heavily disturbed areas. Locally, the great slaty woodpecker prefers sprawling stands of dipterocarp and teak trees. Als ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Ashy Woodpecker
The ashy woodpecker (''Mulleripicus fulvus'') is a species of bird in the woodpecker family Picidae. It is endemic to Sulawesi and surrounding islands in Indonesia. There are two subspecies, the nominate race ''M. f. fulvus'', which is found in northern Sulawesi, the islands of Lembeh and Manterawu, and the archipelagos of Togian and Banggai; and ''M. f. wallacei'', from southern Sulawesi and the islands of Muna and Buton. The second subspecies is named for the collector and scientist Alfred Russel Wallace.Winkler, H. & Christie, D.A. (2017). Ashy Woodpecker (''Mulleripicus fulvus'').

Southern Sooty Woodpecker
The southern sooty woodpecker (''Mulleripicus fuliginosus'') is a bird in the family Picidae. It is endemic to the Philippines, where it occurs in lowland evergreen forest up to in elevation, on the islands of Mindanao, Leyte, and Samar. It is threatened by habitat loss. Both the southern sooty woodpecker and the northern sooty woodpecker were previously considered to be subspecies of the same species, ''Mulleripicus funebris'', known simply as the "sooty woodpecker". They were split as distinct species by the IOC in 2021. Description EBird describes the bird as "A large woodpecker of lowland forest in the southern Philippines. Overall sooty-gray with a fairly long pointed tail, fine speckling on the head, pale eyes, and an ivory-colored bill. Male has a red mark from the base of the bill to the cheek. Occurs together with Buff-spotted Flameback and White-bellied Woodpecker, but has a plain gray belly. Voice includes high-pitched chips and squeals." The breeding season is re ...

Northern Sooty Woodpecker
The northern sooty woodpecker (''Mulleripicus funebris'') is a species of bird in the family Picidae. It is endemic to Luzon, Marinduque, Catanduanes and the Polillo Islands in the Philippines. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests and subtropical or tropical moist montane forests. The northern sooty woodpecker was once considered conspecific with the southern sooty woodpecker and both were lumped together as ''Mulleripicus funebris'' and known simply as the "sooty woodpecker".

Picinae
Picinae containing the true woodpeckers is one of three subfamilies that make up the woodpecker family Picidae. True woodpeckers are found over much of the world, but do not occur in Madagascar or Australasia. Woodpeckers gained their English name because of the habit of some species of tapping and pecking noisily on tree trunks with their beaks and heads. This is both a means of communication to signal possession of territory to their rivals, and a method of locating and accessing insect larvae found under the bark or in long winding tunnels in the tree or upright log. Physiology and behaviour Some woodpeckers and wrynecks in the order Piciformes have zygodactyl feet, with two toes pointing forward, and two backward. These feet, though adapted for clinging to a vertical surface, can be used for grasping or perching. Several species have only three toes. The woodpecker's long tongue, in many cases as long as the woodpecker itself, can be darted forward to capture insects. Th ...

Piculus
''Piculus'' is a genus of birds in the woodpecker family Picidae that are found in Central and South America. Taxonomy The genus was introduced by the German naturalist Johann Baptist von Spix in 1824. The type species was subsequently designated as the golden-green woodpecker (''Piculus chrysochloros'') by the American ornithologist Harry C. Oberholser in 1923. The generic name is a diminutive of the Latin word ''Picus'' meaning "woodpecker". The genus forms part of the woodpecker subfamily Picinae and has a sister relationship to the genus ''Dryocopus'' whose species are found in Eurasia and the Americas. The genus ''Piculus'' is a member of the tribe Picini and belongs to a clade that contains five genera: ''Colaptes'', ''Piculus'', ''Mulleripicus'', ''Dryocopus'' and ''Celeus''. The genus contains seven species: Five other species, formerly placed here, are now in ''Colaptes ''Colaptes'' is a genus of birds in the woodpecker family Picidae. The 14 species are found acr ...

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 ...
