Colaptes melanochloros (green-barred woodpecker)

Wikipedia Abstract

The green-barred woodpecker (Colaptes melanochloros) is a species of bird in the Picidae family. The scientific name melanochloros derives from the Greek melanos, meaning "black", and chloros, "pale green", the principal colors of this bird. The golden-breasted woodpecker is sometimes included here as the southern group of subspecies and sometimes treated as a distinct species, C. melanolaimus.
