Cardinal Woodpecker Dendropicos fuscescens (486)
(Kardinaalspeg)
Experiences with species

This is the smallest of our Woodpeckers and one of only two where the female has a black, not red, crown. I have seen them in a variety of locations, including Golden Harvest in Randburg. The male's brown forehead is one of the distinguishing features. (Other than its small size.)
