Description
The ochre-backed woodpecker (Celeus ochraceus) is a bird in the family Picidae that occurs over a large area of eastern Brazil. It was previously always considered as a subspecies of the blond-crested woodpecker, but the authors of a molecular phylogenetic study published in 2015 argued that it should be treated as a separate species. This recommendation was accepted by the International Ornithologists' Union, the online edition of the Handbook of the Birds of the World, and the South American Classification Committee of the American Ornithological Society. The ochre-backed woodpecker is smaller than the blond-crested woodpecker and has darker orange-buff plumage on the head.
