Veniliornis lignarius (Striped Woodpecker)

Synonyms: Dryobates lignarius; Picoides lignarius; Picus lignarius

Wikipedia Abstract

The striped woodpecker (Veniliornis lignarius) is a woodpecker found in southwestern South America. It occurs northwest- and southwestwards of the range of its sister taxon, the checkered woodpecker, in the Cordillera Patagonica and its foothills, and in another population in the Andes of Bolivia and the adjacent foothills. As the latter is isolated and differs in numerous respects, it is being considered to separate it as V. (lignarius) puncticeps.
