Woodpecker Red Cockaded basic information
The Red Cockaded Woodpecker is a small species of woodpecker, measuring a scant 20 to 23 centimeters lengthwise. Its plumage is colored mostly white and black, with bars running across its back, which help to separate it from similar-looking species of woodpecker. The underbelly is a soft white, with spots of black running in a line down either side of the breast. Females have no other markings, but males have small red spots on the neck that they will rarely ever show.
