Large woodpecker found in both dry and humid forest in western Ecuador, northwestern Peru, and far southwestern Colombia.
We found this female while walking one of the forest trails early in the morning at Rio Silanche (Pichincha/Ecuador).
Another great birding trip with Mark Pretti. Best naturalist we have toured with. Northern Ecuador this time.

Rio Silanche Bird Sanctuary, Northwestern Ecuador. November 10, 2018.
Best viewed large.
I spent 12 days in January in Ecuador with the San Jorge Eco Lodges.
This woodpecker was found at San Jorge de Milpe Orchid & Bird Reserve, Ecuador.
The Guayaquil Woodpecker is declining and is currently classified as “near threatened.”
It is found in southern Colombia, Ecuador and northern Peru.
Campephilus is a genus of ten species of large American woodpeckers in the family Picidae. The name Campephilus means "lover of grubs" - an allusion to the diet of these birds, many of which feed on the larvae of wood-boring beetles. Their closest relatives are not the large black Dryocopus woodpeckers (e.g. the Pileated): instead, they are related to the Chrysocolaptes flamebacks from Southeast Asia.
