Grey-headed Woodpecker

The Grey-headed Woodpecker (Picus canus) is a Eurasian member of the woodpecker family Piciformes.

Its plumage closely resembles its near relative the Green Woodpecker. It has green upperparts, pale grey underparts and a yellow rump. It has a grey head with black moustache, and the male has a red crown. It has a shorter neck, slimmer bill and slightly rounder head than the Green Woodpecker.

The Sibley-Monroe checklist has two birds called "Grey-headed Woodpecker", Dendropicos spodocephalus and Picus canus. For the former, see African Grey-headed Woodpecker .
