About the Crimson-mantled Woodpecker
The crimson-mantled woodpecker (Colaptes rivolii) is a species of bird in subfamily Picinae of the woodpecker family Picidae. It is found in Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Venezuela. The crimson-mantled woodpecker was originally described as Picus Rivolii. It was later placed in genus Hypoxanthus that was still later merged into Piculus; since about 2007 it has been moved into Colaptes by taxonomic systems.
The American Ornithological Society, the International Ornithological Committee, and the Clements taxonomy recognize these six subspecies of crimson-mantled woodpecker: C. r. quindiuna (Chapman, 1923) C. r. zuliensis (Aveledo & Peréz, 1989)
C. r. rivolii (Boissonneau, 1840) C. r. meridae (Chapman, 1923) C. r. brevirostris (Taczanowski, 1874) C. r. atriceps (Sclater and Salvin, 1876) BirdLife International's Handbook of the Birds of the World (HBW) treats C. r. atriceps as a separate species, the black-crowned woodpecker.
The specific epithet rivolii honors French ornithologist François Victor Masséna, third Duke of Rivoli and third Prince of Essling. This article follows the six-subspecies model. The crimson-mantled woodpecker... Wikipedia →
